Abstract  

Al-alloy A356 was treated by scanning micro arc oxidation (SMAO) method. The voltage-time and coating thickness-time curves were recorded. The microstructure, composition,phase constituent and microhardness profile of coatings werecharacterized. The corrosion behavior of the composite was evaluated by polarization test. Results show that the coating deposited in silicate electrolyte consists of α-Al2O3, γ-Al2O3 and mullite. The coating and the substrate presented excellent metallurgical bonding. Compared with the common micro arc oxidation (CMAO) coatings on A356 alloy, the SMAO coating contained higher amount of α-Al2O3 phase withless porous, and possessed higher micro hardness. However, after treatment by either CMAO or SMAO, the corrosion resistance of A356 alloy was significantly improved.
