They are composedof magnesium and silicon elements for improving corrosion and strength properties. Wheel rim materials are often electroplated by rim paints for decorative views and durability considerations.In this study; aluminum A356 alloy was coated by hard anodic oxidation method. 14 samplesare prepared from an automobiles original 14 inch A356 aluminum alloy wheel rim. Samples aremachined by 4x20x20 mm in dimensions for hard anodic oxidation. Three different case depthsof hard anodic oxidation about 45, 65 and 90µm are applied on samples. Micro-structuralinvestigations, micro-hardness surveys and the case depths of samples are thoroughly studied.The applicability of hard anodic oxidation method on wheel rim material A356 alloy isexamined. The micro-structural surveys and micro-hardness tests proved that A356 aluminumalloy samples were hard anodic oxidized up to 90µm in coating thickness.
