Zhu Zhiqiang, a second year master's student of the group, published a SCI paper under the guidance of Mr Lu Hailin. In this paper, a composite coating was prepared by combining laser texture pretreatment with SMAO technology. The results show that this technology can significantly improve the coating performance. In this paper, by optimizing the SMAO process parameters and selecting the laser pretreatment method, a highly wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant coating was prepared, which provides a new method for the application of aluminium alloys in highly demanding fields.
