Effect of Si3N4/TaC Particles on the Structure and Properties of Microarc Oxidation Coatings on TC4 Alloy
Source abstract
Abstract
Si3N4/TaC composite MAO coatings were fabricated by microarc oxidation (MAO) on a Ti–6Al–4V (TC4) alloy in a phosphate-based electrolyte containing Si3N4/TaC mixed particles. The influence of the amount of Si3N4/TaC particles on the microstructure, composition, tribological behavior, and corrosion properties of the MAO coatings has been investigated. Morphological research of the MAO coatings was carried out using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), with the surface porosity analyzed by ImageJ software. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used for the detection of the phase characteristic of the MAO coatings, and an abrasive wear test and electrochemical measurements were conducted in the artificial seawater solution by the ball-on-disc friction tester and the electrochemical workstation, respectively. The results showed that Si3N4/TaC particles could be successfully incorporated into the composite coatings, and the addition of Si3N4/TaC particles greatly reduced the porosity of the coatings, thus improving both tribological and corrosion properties of the composite MAO coatings. The composite MAO coating with the addition of 1 g/L Si3N4 + 0.5 g/L TaC particles showed the best tribological property and the optimum corrosion properties.
