Zihan Liu, a first year master's student of the group, published a paper as the first author in a journal of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) Region II under the supervision of Mr Lu Hailin. In this thesis, the method of high-temperature pretreatment was used to reduce the voltage and current required for the preparation of micro-arc oxidation coatings on non-valve metal copper, to obtain a micro-arc oxidation coating on the copper surface, and to study the abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance of the film. The formation mechanism of the microarc oxide coating on copper is explained in detail in the article, and this technique provides a new idea for the preparation of microarc oxide coatings on other non-valved metals.
