Article Synopsis
- - A two-step method combining softened spark microarc oxidation technology was developed to create composite coatings with varying compositions on Ti alloys, focusing on the Ti6Al4V alloy. - The study revealed that softened spark discharges favored nucleation at the coating/substrate interface and had a lower process voltage than the anodic oxide film's breakdown voltage, impacting anion deposition in the electrolyte. - The results indicated that the softened sparks enhanced rutile phase formation and thickness growth of the coating, with key elements like Ca and P mostly found in the external porous layer, while the initial micro/nanoporous structures of the coatings remained largely unaffected.
