Abstract
In order to clarify the mechanism that zinc and phosphorus elements entering the micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings developed on Ti-6Al-4V alloys, anodic coatings containing different zinc and phosphorus were fabricated using an orthogonal experiment of four factors with three levels in an electrolyte containing EDTA-ZnNa2, KOH, and phytic acid. Surface morphology, element composition, chemical state and phase structure of MAO coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The concentrations of zinc and phosphorus in the electrolyte were analyzed by an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The results show that zinc and phosphorus elements in MAO coatings exist in the form of Zn3(PO4)2. Phytic acid is the most important factor on both zinc and phosphorus contents of MAO coatings. With the increase of phytic acid concentration or the decrease of KOH concentration, the contents of zinc and phosphorus in MAO coatings present a similarly increasing tendency. Our results indicate that phosphorus takes part in coating formation mainly by diffusion, while zinc enters into MAO coatings with phosphorus from phytic acid.
