The aim of the study. By introducing strong oxidizers to the electrolyte form anode layers on the surface of aluminum with increased mechanical characteristics. To determine the effect of the duration of the formation of an anode layer to change its properties. Hard anodizing was performed at a temperature of –4...0C for 60 min. A 20% aqueous solution of H2SO4 was used as the base electrolyte. During anodizing, the current density was 5 A/dm2. To determine the effect of strong oxidants on the characteristics of the anode layers (oxide), 30 were added to the electrolyte; 50; 70 and 100 г/лof hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). In some cases, it was purged with an ozone-air mixture at a rate of 5 mgmin/l of ozone. It was found that the oxide layer (Al2O3H2O) during hard anodizing on aluminium alloys forms not only oxygen ions, which are formed by the decomposition of water, but also neutral oxygen atoms, which are formed by the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and ozone. It was found that hydrogen peroxide, as well as blowing the electrolyte with an air-ozone mixture increase the thickness and microhardness of the anodized layer by 50% due to the reduction of the number of water molecules in alumina by half. Hydrogen peroxide and ozone apparently also reduce the thickness of the barrier layer of the coating, through which oxygen and aluminium ions penetrate and which, when combined, form an oxide layer. Conclusions. 1. It has been established that aluminum anodizing for 60 minutes. provides an increase in its properties. Changing the composition of the electrolyte contributes to the growth of microhardness in 1.2 ... 1.7 times. The resistance of abrasive wear increases with the content of different amounts of applications in the electrolyte and the maximum is at 30 g / l H2O2. Blowing the base electrolyte ozone provides an increase in the microhardness of the layer from 380 to 510 HV. The higher loss of mass for higher microhardness is caused by an increase in porosity of coatings. 2. It is determined that an increase in the anodization time in the baseline electrolyte to 120 and 180 minutes contributes to the growth of microhardness to 640 HV compared to an anodized layer for 60 minutes. Loss of mass in the study of abrasive wear is less than 3-4 times with longer anodation than at 60 minutes in the baseline electrolyte.
Aluminum casting alloys are used in machine-building, automobile, aviation, electrical and textile enterprises. However, aluminum alloys have low abrasive wear resistance, which significantly hinders their use in technological environments where abrasive particles are present. However, aluminum alloys have low abrasive wear resistance, which significantly hinders their use in technological environments where abrasive particles are present. The method of plasma electrolytic oxidation of plasma electrolyte treatment on aluminum alloys provides high hardness up to 2000 HV, low friction coefficient, high adhesion to the metal base, high environmental friendliness. However, this method does not allow the synthesis of oxide layers with high abrasive wear resistance on cast alloys - silumin. Plasma electrolyte treatment layers synthesized on the most widely used Al-Si foundry alloys have significant disadvantages: low rate of synthesis of the oxoceramic layer - 0.5 - 1 μm / min., Low thickness - up to 140 μm, low microhardness (700-1000 HV) and low abrasion resistance. Plasma electrolyte treatment layers were synthesized on the surface of 30x30 mm plates with a thickness of 4 mm from aluminum casting alloys AK-9 (9% Si) and AK-12 (12% Si) in electrolyte - 3 g / l KOH + 2 g / l Na2SiO3 (aqueous solution of liquid glass) without and with the addition to the electrolyte of 3 g / l of hydrogen peroxide H2O2, pulsed current at a frequency of 50 Hz in the cathode-anode mode at a ratio of currents (Ik / Ia) = 1 and a current density of 20 A / dm2. The thickness of the coatings after synthesis for 120 min was 120 -130 µm .. [4]. Metallographic studies were performed on a scanning electron microscope ZEISS EVO 40XVP with X-ray microanalysis system INCA Energy. The phase composition of the surface layers was investigated using a DRON-3M diffractometer in Cu-K radiation. Conclusions: 1. Plasma-electrolyte treatment of silumins AK-9 and AK-12 increases their microhardness up to 1000… 1300 HV, which causes an increase in their abrasive wear resistance by 14 ... 57 times. 2. Addition to the electrolyte of hydrogen peroxide H2O2 in the amount of 3% of the mass. increases the abrasive wear resistance of silumins after plasma electrolyte treatment by another 30 ... 70%. This is due to the increase in the content of oxide phases αAl2O3, γAl2O3 and the decrease in the content of the silicate phase of sillimanite - Al2O3 • SiO2 in the coating structure.
Aluminum alloys are widely used in industry. Recently, they are used as a replacement for steel for the manufacture of pulleys, gears, columns of hydraulic rotary transmissions of grabs, etc. This reduces the weight of the parts and reduces carbon emissions into the atmosphere. However, aluminum alloys have low abrasive wear resistance, so their use is possible with coatings on the surface. High-speed gas flame spraying (HVOF) was carried out on the equipment (Diamond Jet Hybrid gun). Arc coatings with a thickness of 500 µm were applied using FMI metallizer and FMI-2 powder wire (Cr6Al6B3Fe-base). PEO (oxido ceramic) coatings were synthesized on D16T aluminum alloy in an electrolyte of 3 g/l KOH + 2 g/l liquid glass (sodium silicate) with a pulsed current at a frequency of 50 Hz, with the ratio of the densities of the cathode and anode currents Jc/Ja+15/15 A /dm2. The duration of the PEO process is 60 min. The open porosity of the coatings was determined by the method of hydrostatic weighing. The phase composition of the surface layers was studied using a DRON-3.0 diffractometer. HVOF (VC) and PEO coatings have been found to have 3 to 4 times higher wear resistance than high carbon hardened steel 100Cr6 and 2 times higher than galvanic chromium coatings, but have high energy consumption. Two methods have the lowest energy consumption: electric arc spraying of coatings and hard anodizing. At the same time, the wear resistance of such coatings is significantly lower than that of coatings obtained by the PEO and HVOF (VC) methods. For the restoration of worn parts, the most appropriate methods are HVOF (VC) and electric arc spraying, as they allow applying thick coatings up to 5 mm. Conclusions: It was established that the studied HVOF (VC), PEO, EDP and hard anodized coatings significantly increase the abrasive wear resistance of aluminum alloy parts. HVOF (VC) and electric arc spraying methods can be used to protect new and worn parts from wear. PEO and hard anodizing methods can be used to protect against wear on new parts only. The use of these methods increases the wear resistance of parts made of aluminum alloys to the level of steel and allows replacing steel and cast iron with aluminum alloys with coatings, reducing the weight of parts and carbon emissions into the atmosphere.
The influence of charge materials of flux-cored wires on their mechanical characteristics, chemical microheterogeneity and corrosion resistance in an aqueous solution of 3% NaCl was established. It is shown that, in contrast to coatings made of solid wires, coatings sprayed using flux-cored wires (PO) have a high chemical heterogeneity. This is due to the fact that the droplets that disperse from the PD melt and form a coating have different chemical compositions. This is caused by incomplete fusion of the charge and steel shell at the ends of the PD during electric arc spraying of coatings. To reduce the chemical micro-heterogeneity, it is proposed to add powders of ferroalloys FeSi, FeMn and self-flux PG-10H-01 to the charge of powder wire containing chromium, boron, carbon-containing components (Cr, FH, PG-100, B4C, FCB) between the components of the charge, homogenize the melt of PD and, as a consequence, reduce the microheterogeneity of the coatings. The presence of chromium, ferrochrome, ferro-silicon and ferromanganese in the charge of PD 90Х17РГС and PD 75Х19Р3ГС2 determines the minimum chemical microheterogeneity of coatings from these wires and, as a result, ensures their high corrosion resistance, which is close to corrosion steel18. To increase the completeness of fusion of the components of the PD charge between itself and its steel shell, it is proposed to add to the PD charge powders of ferroalloys Fe-Mn, Fe-Si, which have a low melting point, able to interact with refractory components of the charge to form low-temperature eutectics. The addition of ferro-silicon, ferromanganese and self-flux alloy PN-10H-01 powders based on ferrochrobor and ferrochrome provided high hardness of electric arc coatings, low heterogeneity in terms of chromium content in coating lamellae and, as a consequence, high corrosion resistance.
