Study on Corrosion Wear Behavior of 70 Aluminum Alloy Anodic Oxide Coating

Abstract

In vitriolic electrolyte, DC power supply is used on 7075 aluminum alloy to have anodic oxidation treatment then let the oxidized samples have a treatment of electroless plating. Surface morphology of the coating and performance of corrosion wear are studied by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM) and friction and wear experimental machine. The results show that unsealed oxide coating have many holes and cracks, which are extremely badly-distributed; corrosion resistance of the oxide coatings which have the treatment of electroless plating have improved, having lower coefficient of friction and better performance of corrosion wear; besides; coefficient of friction of the samples in water is higher than that in salt water, its wear amount is less.
