Research Advancements of Wear-Resistant Coatings Fabricated on Aluminum and Its Alloys
Source abstract
Abstract
The low hardness and insufficient wear resistance of aluminum and its alloys restrict their broader application in various fields. The application of surface protective coatings can effectively enhance the hardness and wear resistance of aluminum and its alloys. This article provides a comprehensive review of the recent research progress of wear-resistant coatings fabricated on aluminum and its alloys. The relevant achievements in the recent research works of preparing wear-resistant coatings by one-step methods (such as anodic oxidation, micro-arc oxidation, cold spraying, plasma spraying, and electrodeposition) and two-step methods (anodic oxidation and physical vapor deposition, micro-arc oxidation and sealing, magnetron sputtering, and plasma nitriding) are mainly introduced. The working principles of each coating preparation method, along with their impacts on the microstructure and tribological performance of the coatings, were systematically examined. Additionally, a comparative analysis was conducted to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each coating preparation method.
