PEO(Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation) 방법으로 인한 마그네슘 합금의 산화막 코팅시 Sodium Aluminate의 역할을 알아보았다. 전해액 내에 Sodium Aluminate 의 농도가 증가할수록 Plasma arc 발생에 필요한 전압의 상승이 빨라졌으며 그 산화막이 치밀해짐을 알 수 있었다. 또한 치밀한 산화막의 기공률은 분석하여 이를 내식성 결과와 비교함으로써 산화막의 기공률이 내식성에 미치는 영향을 고찰해보았다.

This study investigated how the surface of Al-12wt.%Si alloy modified by the plasma electrolytic oxidation process (PEO). The PEO process was performed in an electrolyte with sodium hexametaphsphate as a conducting salt, and the effect of ammonium metavanadate on variations in the morphology of electrochemically generated oxide layers on the alloy surface was investigated. It is difficult to form a uniform passive oxide layer on Al alloys with a high Si content due to the differences in the oxidation behavior of the silicon-rich phase and the aluminum-rich phase. The oxide layer covered the entire surface of the Al-12WT.%Si alloy uniformly when ammonium metavanadate was added to the electrolyte. The oxide layer was confirmed as a mixture of $V_2O_3$ and $V_2O_5$ by XPS analysis. In addition, the oxide layer obtained by the PEO process with ammonium metavanadate exhibited a black color. Application of this surface modification method is expected to solve the problem of the lack of uniformity in the coloring of oxide layeres caused by different oxidation behaviors during a surface treatment.

Anodic oxidation treatment of metals is one of typical surface finishing methods which has been used for improving surface appearance, bioactivity, adhesion with paints and the resistances to corrosion and/or abrasion. This article provides fundamental principle, type and characteristics of the anodic oxidation treatment methods, including anodizing method and plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) method. The anodic oxidation can form thick oxide films on the metal surface by electrochemical reactions under the application of electric current and voltage between the working electrode and auxiliary electrode. The anodic oxide films are classified into two types of barrier type and porous type. The porous anodic oxide films include a porous anodizing film containing regular pores, nanotubes and PEO films containing irregular pores with different sizes and shapes. Thickness and defect density of the anodic oxide films are important factors which affect the corrosion resistance of metals. The anodic oxide film thickness is limited by how fast ions can migrate through the anodic oxide film. Defect density in the anodic oxide film is dependent upon alloying elements and second-phase particles in the alloys. In this article, the principle and mechanisms of formation and growth of anodic oxide films on metals are described.

본 연구에서는 AZ31 마그네슘 합금의 내식성을 향상시키기 위하여 플라즈마 전해산화(PEO, plasma electrolytic oxidation)법을 이용하여 $5{\sim}50{\mu}m$ 두께의 산화피막을 형성시켰으며, 염수침지법, 동전위 분극실험 및 a.c. 임피던스 측정법을 이용하여 형성된 산화피막의 특성을 평가하였다. 플라즈마 전해산화 피막은 다양한 용액에서 펄스전류를 인가하여 형성하였으며, 플라즈마 전해산화 처리된 AZ31 마그네슘 합금 시편은 증류수에서 실링 처리할 경우 0.5 M NaCl용액에 침지 시 600 시간동안 부식이 일어나지 않았다.

The influence of the subsequent-annealing (SA) treatment on plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO)-treated Mg-based alloy was investigated and the dependence of the dehydration reaction on the SA temperature was also studied. For this purpose, a series of the SA treatments were carried out on the coated samples at two different temperatures, i.e. 423 and 523 K for 10 h. In contrast to the sample without SA treatment, the sample annealed at 523 K exhibited a significant difference in term of surface morphology since the MgO content in the oxide layer increased with increasing SA temperature. With increasing SA temperature, the dehydration of $Mg(OH)_2$ led to the increase in the relative amount of the MgO, which was a hard phase. From the nano-indentation results, the applied loads of the samples were seen to increase as SA temperature increased. However, the corrosion resistance of the sample annealed at 423 K was higher than that of the samples annealed at 523 K.

The crystal structure of surface coatings on Al1050 alloy by PEO (Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation), were investigated. The electrolyte for PEO was Na-Si-P system solution. The main crystalline phase were $\gamma$-alumina and $\alpha$-alumina. Crystallinity was increased with applied voltage and applied time. The dominant crystalline phase were affected not only chemical composition of Al alloy substrate and electrolyte, but also the +/- ratio of applied voltage.

Pure Mg and Mg-6wt.%Al alloy were coated by the plasma electrolytic oxidation with various coating times and the microstructural and mechanical characteristics of the coatings were investigated. The coatings on pure Mg and Mg-6wt.%Al alloy consisted of MgO and $Mg_2SiO_4$. The surface roughness and thickness of the coatings became larger as the coating time increased. The coatings on the Mg-6wt.%Al alloy were more uniform and thicker than those on pure Mg. The microhardness and friction coefficient of the coatings increased progressively as the coating time increased. In addition, the coatings on the Mg-6wt.%Al alloy compared to pure Mg showed improved microhardness and a better friction coefficient.

Development of biodegradable implants for treatment of complex bone fractures has recently become one of the priority areas in biomedical materials research. Multifunctional corrosion resistant and bioactive coatings containing hydroxyapatite $Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6(OH)_2$ and magnesium oxide MgO were obtained on Mg-Mn-Ce magnesium alloy by plasma electrolytic oxidation. The phase and elemental composition, morphology, and anticorrosion properties of the coatings were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The PEO-layers were post-treated using superdispersed polytetrafluoroethylene powder. The duplex treatment considerably reduced the corrosion rate (>4 orders of magnitude) of the magnesium alloy. The use of composite coatings in inducing bioactivity and controlling the corrosion degradation of resorbable Mg implants are considered promising. We also applied the plasma electrolytic oxidation method for the formation of the composite bioinert coatings on the titanium nickelide surface in order to improve its electrochemical properties and to change the morphological structure. It was shown that formed coatings significantly reduced the quantity of nickel ions released into the organism.

Oxide coatings were prepared on Al-1050 substrates by an environment-friendly plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process using an electrolytic solution of $Na_2SiO_3$ (8 g/L) and NaOH (3 g/L). The effects of three different duty cycles (20%, 40%, and 60%) and frequencies (50 Hz, 200 Hz, and 800 Hz) on the structure and micro-hardness of the oxide coatings were investigated. XRD analysis revealed that the oxides were mainly composed of ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$, ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$, and mullite. The proportion of each crystalline phase depended on various electrical parameters, such as duty cycle and frequency. SEM images indicated that the oxide coatings formed at a 60% duty cycle exhibited relatively coarser surfaces with larger pore sizes and sintering particles. However, the oxides prepared at a 20% duty cycle showed relatively smooth surfaces. The PEO treatment also resulted in a strong adhesion between the oxide coating and the substrate. The oxide coatings were found to improve the micro-hardness with the increase of duty cycle. The structural and physical properties of the oxide coatings were affected by the duty cycles.

The plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process is a relatively new surface treatment technique that produces a chemically stable and environment-friendly electrolytic coating that can be applied to all types of magnesium alloys. In this study, the characteristics of oxide film were examined after coating the extruded AZ31 alloy through the PEO process. Hard ceramic coatings were obtained on the AZ31 alloy by changing the coating time from 10min to 60min. The morphologies of the surface and the cross-section of the PEO coatings were examined by scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy, and the thickness of the coating was measured. The X-ray diffraction pattern of the coating shows that the coated layer consists mainly of the MgO and $Mg_2SiO_4$ phases after the oxidation reaction. The hardness of the coated AZ31 alloy increased with increasing coating time. In addition, the corrosion rates of the coated and uncoated AZ31 alloys were examined by salt spray tests according to ASTM B 117 and the results show that the corrosion resistance of the coated AZ31 alloy was superior to that of the un-coated AZ31 alloy.
