Abstract
To achieve a better performance of engineering components, modern design approaches consider the replacement of steel with lightweight metals, such as aluminum alloys. However, bare aluminum cannot satisfy requirements for surface properties in situations where continuous friction is needed. Among the various surface modification techniques, plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is considered as promising for structural applications, owing to its hard and well-adhered ceramic coatings. In this work, the surfaces of two Al alloys (2024 and 6061) have been modified by PEO coating (~180 µm) reinforced with basalt minerals, in order to increase the coefficient of friction and wear resistance. A slurry electrolyte, including a silicate-alkaline solution with addition of basalt mineral powder (<5 µm) has been used. The coating composition, surface morphology, and microstructure were studied using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron, and optical microscopy. Linear reciprocating wear tests were employed for the evaluation of the friction and wear behavior. It was found that the coatings reinforced with basalt mineral showed that the wear and friction coefficients reached values 10-10 (mm N m) and 0.7-0.85, correspondingly (sliding distance of 100 m). In comparison with the characteristics of resin-based materials (10-10 (mm N m) and 0.3-0.5, respectively), the employment of thin inorganic frictional composites may bring considerable improvement in the thermal stability, durability, and compactness, as well as a reduction in the weight of the final product. These coatings are considered an alternative to the reinforced resin composite materials on steel used in frictional components, for example, clutch disks and braking pads. It is expected that the smaller thickness of the active frictional material (180 μm) reduces the volume of the wear products, extending the service intervals associated with filter and lubricant maintenance.
