Titanium (Ti) and its alloys have great application potential. However, their relatively poor
surface hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and biological activity greatly limit …

In recent years, considerable research has long been devoted to the development of
metallic materials with excellent surface properties through various surface modification …

In this study, a novel two-step hybrid PEO technique was used to produce an alumina (Al 2
O 3) on an Al6061 alloy. The research emphasizes the influence of the microstructure of the …

In modern industry different techniques are used to protect the material from degradation

Sequential anodic and cathodic pulse voltages were applied on anodised Al micro-
electrodes in alkaline silicate electrolyte to explore the role of cathodic pulse in AC or bipolar …

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 …

In this study, we present the results of investigation of plasma electrolytic anodization of
aluminum by means of different experimental techniques, in few first minutes of the process …

In this study sintering of electrochemical conversion products on the surface of AM50
magnesium alloy by the discharges was identified as an essential step in the coating …

The present investigation reports corrosion and tribocorrosion behavior of anodic spark
oxidation (ASO) coatings formed at 20 and− 10° C. Despite the numerous open pores on the …

In this study, the influence of cathodic polarization on the plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO)
behaviors of pure magnesium and AZ31 and AZ91 magnesium alloys with varied Al alloying …
