Titanium and titanium alloys are widely used in biomedical devices and components,
especially as hard tissue replacements as well as in cardiac and cardiovascular …

This paper overviews the relatively new surface engineering discipline of plasma
electrolysis, the main derivative of this being plasma electrolytic deposition (PED), which …

The paper discusses processing and property aspects of oxide films formed on a Ti–6Al–4V
alloy by AC plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) in aqueous solutions containing aluminate …

Digital video imaging of the plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) of aluminium has been
performed, which allowed evaluation of both dimensional characteristics of individual …

Anodised titanium has a long history as a coating structure for implants due to its bioactive
and ossified surface, which promotes rapid bone integration. In response to the growing …

Ceramic coatings were created on the surface of 6061 aluminum alloy using a plasma
electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process employing a pulsed direct current (DC) power mode in …

Thick alumina coatings were synthesized on 7075 Al-alloy substrates through the microarc
oxidation (MAO) route. Different oxidation times namely 1, 3, 5, 10, 20 and 30 min were …

Plasma electrolytic oxide coatings are generally assumed to be almost fully dense.
However, evidence is presented here for the presence of sub-micrometre, surface …

Plasma electrolytic oxide coatings appear to offer attractive combinations of hardness, wear
resistance, corrosion resistance and interfacial adhesion. In order to optimise such …

In the paper, a modified Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation process (PEO) to produce ceramic
coatings on Al alloys, suitable for tribological applications, is discussed. The process utilises …
