Abstract

The hardcoat anodising process was done by using different concentration of H2SO4 from 0% to 20%. The 90 volt of anodising process was applied by using Al foil as cathode materials. The surface changes on PM Al-Mg resulted by hardcoat anodising was characterised by XRD measured. Surface hardness was measured by Micro-Vickers hardness machine. The experiment found different XRD pattern between anodised PM Al-Mg samples. The study was found by that the optimum value for H2SO4 concentration was 15 % H2SO4 and result 26 μm thickness, 5.07% of mass changes and HVN 105.4 hardness. The hardcoat anodising was affected to the XRD pattern for PM Al-Mg.
