Although aluminum and its alloys are typically utilized like lightweight materials in a lot of
industries, they suffer from low corrosion and wear resistance as well as low hardness …

The micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings were prepared in four different electrolyte systems,
including mixed acid, phosphate, phosphate-aluminate and phosphate-silicate electrolytes …

To meet the escalating energy demands, marine resources have assumed a significant role
in the field of renewable energy. High performance and extended lifespan of offshore …

Abstract Ti-Al-Si-SiC-Cr x (X= 0, 5, 10, 15) coatings were prepared on TC4 alloy by laser
cladding, and their microstructure and tribological properties were investigated. The results …

This paper investigates torsional-fretting wear properties of 7075 aluminum alloys under
lubricated and dry conditions. Fretting wear experiments are conducted under the flat-on-flat …

Micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings can enhance the wear and corrosion resistance of
aluminum alloys, but the high coefficient of friction and surface pores can lead to failure in …

This study attempted to investigate the effect of coating porosity on the ability to protect the
substrate from corrosion and the combined action mechanism of corrosion and erosion …

Micro-arc oxidation is an effective method to enhance surface wear resistance. This paper
comparatively studies the fretting and sliding wear properties of micro-arc oxidation-treated …

In this study, plasma electrolytic oxidation has been used to improve wear resistance of
2024-T3 aluminum alloy. An electrolyte containing available and inexpensive constituents …

An alumina coating with a thickness of 20–50 μm was deposited by plasma electrolytic
oxidation (PEO) on an AA 7075 Al alloy in an alkali-aluminate electrolyte using a 5 kW DC …
