The effects of the thermal cycles on the microstructures and properties of ductile iron modified by electrolytic plasma treatment were investigated. Microstructure changes occurring in the modified surface were characterized with scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry techniques. Martensitic structure evolved in the heat affected zone and ledeburite structure was produced in the molten zone of the ductile iron. Microhardness of the treated specimens improved considerably as compared to the original sample. X-ray diffraction clearly revealed the formation of a martensite phases in the modified zone.

Traditional surface modification obligations, surface coatings, and other methods of surface treatment are used to increase the hardness and mechanical properties of specimen surfaces. But those techniques are limited due to the high equipment cost, and material consumption. Electrolytic plasma technology is a special heat treatment process employing electrolysis in an aqueous solution under particular conditions, for instance voltage, current, electrolyte, duration, and heating-quenching rate. In this study, surface modification of GGG70 cast iron was carried out by using electrolytic plasma treatment. Certain voltage and ampere values were performed to obtain good surface properties. Metallographic studies were carried out with an optical microscope to study the hardened and modified surfaces. The effect of impulse time on surface temperature was investigated and it was observed that the temperature on the workpiece increased with increasing impulse time. It was found that the electrolytic plasma treatment could significantly increase hardness of the cast iron.

Wear resistance of ductile iron can be improved through different surface engineering techniques, each having some limitations and drawbacks. Recently, a new method called pulse plasma technology has been introduced, which through local reinforcement with inserts improves wear resistance of ductile iron without compromising other properties. This paper deals with the improvement of the wear resistance of ductile iron surface modified by pulse plasma technology using a tungsten electrode. The surfaces of the samples were treated by C_3H_8, air, and oxygen gases. The surface morphology and the phase structure in the near surface region of original and treated samples were analyzed with optic microscope, scanning electron microscope and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. The surface properties were evaluated by measuring the microhardness, wear properties and friction coefficient, as well as the elemental depth profiles and chemical composition of the modified layer. It was found that the microhardness of the treated samples was much higher. The tribological resistances were also significantly improved, as confirmed by the reduced friction coefficient and wear track width. This improvement can be attributed to the diffusion of tungsten on the surface layer.

The ceramic coating on aluminum alloy was prepared in sodium metasilicate electrolyte by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO). The effect of PEO treating time on surface layer was investigated. The morphology and phase composition of the ceramic coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). The effect of the electrolyte contents on the growth mechanism, element distribution and properties of oxide layers were studied. Oxide coatings morphology is strongly dependent on PEO process time. The microdischarges characteristics were studied as well, and it is shown that size of microdischarges becomes larger with increasing time of PEO. XRD analysis showed that Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation coating has hard, dominantly Al₂O₃ phase.
