Tuning the Surface Characteristic of Al-Si Alloys and Its Impacts on the Formation of Micro Arc Oxidation Layers

Aluminum Silicon (Al-Si) alloys are the most important among cast alloys and have widespread application. The β-Si phase is detrimental to the growth of micro arc oxidation (MAO) layers on Al-Si alloys. In this paper, the β-Si in the skin layer of different Al-Si alloys was removed by an acid etchin...
