In order to describe the temperature field distribution around a single discharge channel exactly during plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO) process,a cylinder-shaped discharge model was designed.In the typical stage of the PEO coating growth on aluminium alloy,by using the high-speed camera and statistical method,the characteristic parameters of discharges,such as the spatial density of arc spot and size of channel,were measured,the lifetime(140 μs) and energy of a single spark were also calculated.The parameters of the model were obtained.The Ansys software was adopted to simulate the temperature field around a single discharge channel.The center temperature of the discharge channel was over 2×104 K.The results can explain the formation of γ-Al2O3 and α-Al2O3 and microstructure in the ceramic coatings from the heat transfer theory. 更多
