Tribological Examination of Anodized Al-356 for Automotive Use
COATINGS(2023)
Abstract
The A356 alloy is commonly used in the foundry industry to produce high-stressed automotive components, such as motor frames and cylinder heads. The aim of this work was to investigate how the mechanical and tribological properties of this alloy can be improved by applying an anodizing process. The properties of the oxide layer formed by anodizing using oxalic acid at low temperatures were characterized by different analytical and tribological methods. The combination of tribological methods with standard measurement techniques-such as hardness measurement, layer thickness measurement, as well as the analysis of the morphological characteristics-was used to track the layer evolution during wear developments.
