Micro arc oxidation machine basic concept:

Micro arc oxidation (Microarc oxidation, MAO, Micro arc anodizing), also known as micro-plasma oxidation (Microplasma oxidation, MPO), which through a combination of electrolyte and corresponding electrical parameters, depended on impact of instantaneous high temperature & pressure generated by arc discharge, in order to grow out of ceramic coating on surface of aluminum, magnesium, titanium and its alloys based on metal oxide-based as priority. In process of micro arc oxidation, chemical oxidation, electrochemical anodizing, plasma oxidation coexist, so the process of forming of ceramic layer is very complex, so far there is not a reasonable model to fully describe the formation of the ceramic layer.Micro arc oxidation processes lead ordinary anodization from Faraday area introduced into high-pressure discharge area, by mean of this, overcome the shortcomings of hard anodizing, which greatly enhancing the overall performance of film.

Combine of micro-arc oxidation coating with substrate has features of solid, compact structure, high toughness, with good wear resistance, corrosion resistance, heat shock and electrical insulation properties. This kind of technique has advantages of simple operation and easy to realize film layer functions adjustment, and process is not complicated, also does not cause environmental pollution, that is a new environment-friendly surface treatment technology, who has broad application prospects in aerospace, machinery, electronics, decoration and other fields.
