doi:10.13251/j.issn.0254-6051.2021.06.013

Abstract

Abstract: Surface treatment of TC4 alloy was carried out by using micro-arc oxidation (MAO). The morphologies, thickness, hardness, phase structure, and electrochemistry corrosive behavior of surface oxide film on the MAO-TC4 alloy annealed at different temperatures were studied by means of X-ray diffractometer, field emission scanning electron microscope, laser confocal microscope, microhardness test and electrochemical corrosion. The results show that, with the increase of annealing temperature, microhardness of surface oxide film of the MAO-TC4 alloys increases, and when annealed at 850 ℃, the maximum hardness of 592 HV0.2 can be obtained. The film corrosion resistance of the MAO-TC4 alloy increases at first and then decreases with the increase of annealing temperature in the range of 450-850 ℃. When the annealing temperature is 650 ℃, the self-etching current density of film is 0.125 μA/cm², at which the optimal corrosion resistance is presented.
