Abstract: A ceramic coating was prepared on the surface of ZL109 aluminum alloy by using plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) in silicate system. The effect and mechanism of different pulse frequencies on heat capacity and heat conductivity were studied by means of SEM, XRD, DSC and laser-flash apparatus (LFA). The results indicate that the changes in thermal properties of the coating are mainly influenced by microstructure and phase structure constituent which is mainly related to the pulse frequency. When the frequency is 200 Hz, PEO coating has a low heat conductivity of 0.113 W/(m·K).

Key words: ZL109 aluminum alloy, plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO), pulse frequency, heat capacity, heat conductivity
