Abstract

A duplex process was designed to modify the alloy surface using surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) prior to microarc oxidation (MAO). A surface nanocrystalline (SNC) layer was formed on the surface of Al alloy by SMAT, on which a ceramic coating grew by MAO, finally the SNC-MAO composite coating are fabricated. The tensile properties of the SMATed alloy, MAO coating and SNC-MAO composite coating were comparatively evaluated. Experimental results show that the yield strength and tensile strength of the substrate Al alloy are reduced after MAO treatment, while those of SNC-MAO treated samples are improved due to the introduction of SMAT pre-treatment. When the elongation is 8%, SNC-MAO coating shows better tensile and adhesion properties compared with MAO coating with the same thickness.
