Abstract | Micro-arc oxidation (MAO) is a popular coating technology for aluminum alloys, but the wear resistance and friction properties are limited by the intrinsic properties of the alumina coatings with high friction coefficients. In this work, CePO4 is identified as a quasi-2D material by the first principle calculation. As a self-lubricating phase, it is firstly formed in situ during the oxidation process and the lubrication mechanism is investigated. Nano-grains of cerium phosphate are formed and imbedded uniformly in the alumina coatings. With increasing Ce contents, the friction coefficients diminish to 0.1-0.15 during the 5-h test without obvious fluctuation. The results reveal the new concept of using self-lubricating additives in MAO oxide on Al alloys to improve the durability and mechanical properties. |
