Characteristics of Plasma-Electrolytic Oxide Coatings Formed on Aluminum and Titanium in Electrolytes with Siloxane Acrylate and Particles of Vanadium, Boron, and Aluminum Oxides

Resumo

It is shown that aqueous suspension-emulsion electrolytes containing sodium silicate, siloxane-acrylate emulsion, and dispersed particles of oxides are promising for direct synthesis by the plasma-electrolytic oxidation method of coatings with multicomponent composition on titanium and aluminum. The formation processes, composition, and structure of the coatings were studied in electrolytes with 1–4-μm particles of V₂O₅, B₂O₃, or Al₂O₃. The average content of metals and nonmetals of dispersed particles in the surface part of the coatings is ~1–2 at %. The coatings have a developed surface morphology and contain in the surface part up to 50–73 at % carbon.
