Abstract

Ceramic coatings were formed on Ti6Al4V alloy surface by microarc oxidation (MAO) in a Na 2 SiO 3 system solution. Unlubricated, smear oil and oil bath lubricated fretting tests were performed on MAO coatings against 52100 steel on a fretting wear tester. Microstructural investigation of the worn surfaces was performed and the wear mechanisms were studied. The results show that the coatings are mainly composed of rutile and a small amount of anatase TiO 2 , both in nano grain structure. Friction coefficient of microarc oxidation coatings under oil bath lubrication was significantly reduced, favorable stable at 0.15, which indicates that the coatings with oil lubricated lowered the shear and adhesive stresses between contact surfaces, consequently alleviating the possibility of initiation and propagation of cracks in the inner layer of the coating or titanium alloy substrate.
