Abstract
Microarc oxidation (MAO) coatings were prepared on 2024-T4 aluminum alloys using a pulsed bipolar power supply at different anode pulse-widths. After the MAO coatings were formed, the micropores and microcracks on the surface of the MAO coatings were filled with Fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) dispersion for preparing MAO self-lubricating composite coatings containing FEP. The effect of the anode pulse-width on the microstructure and wear resistance of the microarc oxidation coatings was investigated. The wear resistance of the microarc oxidation self-lubricating composite coatings was analyzed. The results revealed that the MAO self-lubricating composite coatings integrated the advantages of wear resistance of the MAO ceramic coatings and a low friction coefficient of FEP. Compared to the MAO coatings, the microarc oxidation self-lubricating composite coatings exhibited a lower friction coefficient and lower wear rates.
