Investigation of Mechanical Properties of Aluminum 7075 Alloy via Surface Engineering

In this study, MAO process, which is one of the surface coating methods, was applied to 7075-T6 Al alloy in a thin thickness and relationship between its mechanical properties compared uncoated state investigated. Surface microstructure images prepared samples, from cross section eds analysis were measured by scanning electron microscope (SEM). With XRD analysis, peaks material on made determined difference examined according state. How affects dislocation density The microhardness value coated with 2 µm surface, HV 0.5. hardness thus increased 50%. weight loss materials calculated. Despite such coating, wear resistance has approximately 8 times
