Study on the surface ceramization of aluminum alloy

Abstract

Abstract Aluminum alloy has been widely used as a metal material. However, it is usually vulnerable to corrosion, so the protection of aluminum alloy surface is particularly important. At present, the commonly used methods of surface protection of aluminium alloys are anodic oxidation, plasma micro-arc oxidation, chemical oxidation and so on. In this experiment, chemical protective coatings were prepared by chemical oxidation of Aluminium 1100 and 6063 treated with H2O2 or KMnO4 solution. The results showed that the oxidation capacity of H2O2 solution from 3% concentration to 15% concentration to Al1100 was successively enhanced. Moreover, the ceramic coating produced when the concentration of H2O2 is 12%-15% has a better effect, and the structures are cauliflower, concave and convex, and hydrophobic. It is expected that the surface has lotus leaf effect.
