Formation of PEO Coatings Modified by SiC Nanoparticles on the MA8 Magnesium Alloy
Abstract
The properties of coatings formed on the MA8 magnesium alloy by the plasma electrolytic oxidation in electrolytes containing silicon carbide nanoparticles in concentrations of 2, 4 and 6 g/l have been investigated. It has been shown that coatings, which contain nanoparticles, have a significant advantage in microhardenss and adhesive strength in comparison with the surface layers obtained without their use.
