Al alaşımı üzerinde Mikro ark Oksidasyon (MAO) yöntemiyle büyütülen kaplamaların yapısı ve özellikleri üzerine Bor karbür (B4C) katılmasının etkisi, sodyum fosfat, sodyum silikat ve potasyum hidroksitten oluşan bir çözelti içerisinde gerçekleştirilerek araştırılmıştır. MAO, B4C parçacıkları eklenmiş ve eklenmemiş çözeltilerde Al 2024 alaşımı üzerine uygulanmıştır. MAO kaplamalarının faz bileşimi ve mikro yapısı X-ışını kırınımı difraktometresi (XRD) ve taramalı elektron mikroskobu (SEM) kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Ayrıca kaplamaların, mikrosertlik değerleri mikrosertlik test cihazı kullanılarak tespit edilmiştir. Al alaşımı üzerindeki oksit kaplamaların birincil olarak γ- Al2O3'ten oluştuğu gözlenmiştir. Solüsyona ilave edilen B4C partiküllerinin eklenmesi, MAO kaplamalarının Al alaşımları üzerindeki oluşum hızını ve kompaktlığını iyileştirdiği ve X-ışını kırınımı yoluyla kaplamalarda B4C varlığı tespit edilmiştir. Yüksek sertlik ve iyi kimyasal stabiliteye sahip B4C parçacıkları, MAO kaplamalarında eşit olarak dağıldığı gözlenmiştir. Bu nedenle, B4C takviyeli MAO kaplamaların sertlik değeri, Al alaşımları üzerindeki B4C ilave edilmeyen oksit kaplamalardan belirgin şekilde yüksek olduğu gözlenmiştir.

Deposition of B4C Doped Composite Coatings on Al 2024 Alloy by Micro-Arc Oxidation Method

Öz

The effect of boron carbide (B4C) addition on the structure and properties of coatings grown by the Microarc Oxidation (MAO) method on Al alloy was investigated by performing it in a solution consisting of sodium phosphate, sodium silicate and potassium hydroxide. MAO was applied on Al 2024 alloy in solutions with and without added B4C particles. The phase composition and microstructure of the MAO coatings were evaluated using X-ray diffraction diffractometry (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In addition, the microhardness values of the coatings were determined using a microhardness tester. It has been observed that the oxide coatings on the Al alloy are primarily composed of γ-Al2O3. The addition of B4C particles to the solution improved the formation rate and compactness of MAO coatings on Al alloys, and the presence of B4C in the coatings was detected by X-ray diffraction. B4C particles with high hardness and good chemical stability were observed to be evenly dispersed in MAO coatings. Therefore, it has been observed that the hardness value of B4C reinforced MAO coatings is significantly higher than that of oxide coatings without B4C on Al alloys.
