$BaTiO_3$ coatings were prepared by micro arc oxidation (MAO) method. Only $Ba(OH)_2$ was dissolved in the electrolyte and process time was less than 30 min. Commercial purity $Ba(OH)_2$ (97%) containing $BaCO_3$ as impurity was used in preparing the electrolyte. XRD showed that the coating was composed of largely $BaTiO_3$, and in some process conditions, small quantity of impurity, $BaCO_3$, was characterized in the coating layer. The quantity of $BaCO_3$ could be controlled to negligible quantity by regulating the applied voltage and duration time of the MAO process.

MAO(Micro-Arc Oxidation) method was used to make $Al_2O_3$ surface on 6063 Al specimen. This study was focused on an influence of voltage, density of electrolyte and a period of treatment on the change of surface microstructure by using SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope), EDS(Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy). The microstructure shows higher roughness and thicker oxidized layer with increase of voltage and maintaining period of treatment. The density of electrolyte affected a formation of more dense surface and increase of a oxidized layer.

MAO (micro-arc oxidation) is an eco-friendly convenient and effective technology to deposit high-quality oxide coatings on the surfaces of Ti, Al, Mg and their alloys. The roles of the electrolyte concentration and relative cathode electrode area sizes in the grown oxide film during titanium MAO were investigated. The higher the concentration of the electrolyte, the lower the $R_{total}A$ value. The oxide film produced by the lower concentration of the electrolyte is thinner and less uniform than the film by the higher concentration, which is thick and porous. The cathode area size must be bigger than the anode area size in order to minimize the voltage drop across the cathode. The ratio of the cathode area size to the anode area size must be bigger than 8. Otherwise, the cathode will be another source for voltage drop, which is detrimental to and slows down the oxide growth.

Herein, we investigated surface morphological characteristics of anodic films on Al6061 alloy prepared by unipolar pulsed Micro-arc oxidation (MAO) in a mixed solution of $Na_2SiO_3$ + KOH. The number and size of pores as well as craters on anodic alumina surface were studied as a function of different voltages, duty cycles and applied anodic current densities. The morphological characteristics of all samples were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, conforming that the most uniform surface morphology of MAO films on Al1050 alloy was obtained at high applied current density with low duty cycle.

$TiO_2$ was successfully formed on a Ti specimen by MAO (Micro-Arc-Oxidation) method treated in $Na_3PO_4$ electrolyte. This study deals with the influence of voltage and working time on the change of surface microstructure and phase composition. Voltage affected the forming rate of the oxidized layer and surface microstructure where, a low voltage led to a high surface roughness, more holes and a thin oxidized layer. On the other hand, a high voltage led to more dense surface structure, wider surface holes, a thick layer and fewer holes. Higher voltage increases photocatalytic activity because of better crystallization of the oxidized layer and good phase composition with anatase and rutile $TiO_2$, which is able to effectively separate excited electrons and holes at the surface.

AZ31 마그네슘 합금에 AC 전류를 인가하여 MAO(micro-arc oxidation) process로 양극산화 할 때 알카리 전해액에 첨가되는 sodium silicate(Na2SiO3)의 농도에 따라 형성되는 양극 피막의 구조와 부식특성을 평가하였다. 전해질의 조성은 10g/1 KOH와 4g/1 KF 혼합 전해액에 sodium silicate를 (5, 10, 20, 40, 80)g/1로 달리하여 첨가한 후 $40mA/cm^2$의 전류밀도로 20분간 MAO 처리한 후 양극피막의 조직을 SEM, XRD, EPMA를 이용하여 분석하였고 동전위 분극시험으로 부식 거동을 평가하였으며 micro-vickers 경도계를 이용하여 단면의 경도를 측정하였다.

The effect of potassium permanganate ($KMnO_4$) in an electrolyte on the corrosion performance of magnesium alloy coated by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) has been investigated in this study. For this purpose, MAO coating was carried out on the present sample under AC condition in an alkaline silicate electrolyte with and without $KMnO_4$. Irrespective of the addition of $KMnO_4$, it was found from structural observation that the ceramic coating layers consisted of inner and outer layers. In the sample processed in the electrolyte with $KMnO_4$, the outer layer became dense and even contained a number of $Mn_2O_3$ atoms, resulting in high corrosion resistance. Based on the results of a potentiodynamic polarization test, it was confirmed that the coating layer formed in the electrolyte with $KMnO_4$exhibited better corrosion resistance than that without $KMnO_4$. The high corrosion resistance of the MAO-treated magnesium alloy was explained in relation to the equivalent circuit model.

MAO 법을 이용하여 전류밀도 4A/$cm^2$조건에서 3종류의 전해액과 코팅시간에 따라 AZ31 마그네슘 합금을 산화피막 처리하였다. 코팅시간이 길어짐에 따라 코팅층의 표면형상은 기공이 더욱 커지고, 표면에 균열이 발생하기도 하였다. 또한 코팅시간이 길어짐에 따라 코팅층의 두께와 경도(HV)값은 증가하였다. AZ31합금의 코팅층 상들은 MgO, $Mg_2SiO_4$ 그리고 $MgAl_2O_4$ 산화물로 이루어졌다. 산화코팅된 AZ31합금을 5% NaCl 용액에서 168시간동안 염수분무실험결과 우수한 내식성을 나타냈다.

In this work, ceramic coatings were prepared on Al7075 aluminum alloy using microarc oxidation (MAO) process in a silicate-fluoride based electrolyte solution. The effect of $OH^-$ concentration, by adding NaOH to the solution on the microstructural and mechanical properties of the coating was investigated. Surface morphology and cross sectional view of the coating was analyzed using SEM while XRD was used to examine the phase compositions of the coatings. From XRD ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ phase was found to be increased by adding NaOH to the electrolyte. Thereby, the hardness and the wear properties of the MAO coatings were found to be superior to those of the coatings prepared without NaOH addition or with amount maximum than 2 g/l NaOH. Moreover, the morphology of the coatings was transformed form nodule-based cluster to crater based structure with the addition of NaOH to the MAO electrolyte solution.
