In this work, the porosity of plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO)-based coatings on Al-and Mg-
based substrates was studied by two imaging techniques—namely, SEM and computer …

Active medical devices rely on a source of energy that is applied to the human body for
specific purposes such as electrosurgery, ultrasounds for breaking up kidney stones …

The improved corrosion resistance of AZ31 alloy by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO)
counteracts its apatite-forming ability. To overcome the issue, apatite-containing coatings …

This chapter focuses on anticorrosive protective coatings on Al-based elements of thermal
