Anodizing is a well-documented surface treatment that is inserted in a complex protection
system against corrosion applied to Al alloys. In the scientific literature, there are many …

A review is given of anodic alumina film formation on aluminium, with barrier and porous
films developed by anodic polarization in an appropriate electrolyte. Initial consideration of …

Aluminium is a strongly electro-negative metal and possesses a strong affinity for oxygen;
this is apparent fi· om the high heat of formation of its oxide. For this reason, although it is …

One of the promising methods of surface hardening of piston aluminum alloys–micro-arc
oxidation-is considered in the paper. This type of coating, formed under the influence of …

Aluminium is the second most often used metal after steel. In this paper, the most current
uses of aluminium alloys are first summarised. Then, their different corrosion modes, ie …

In the present study, the distribution of Ag in the coating formed on Mg-Ag alloy by plasma
electrolytic oxidation (PEO) and its ionic release kinetics when exposed to a 0.9 wt.% NaCl …

Colorful thin oxide films were synthesized by galvanostatic anodization on Ti-6Al-4V alloy.
Three different aqueous solutions containing corrosion inorganic inhibitors (Na 2 MoO 4 …

Specimens of AA 5083 and AA 6111 (unheat-and heat-treated) were investigated in
comparison with the pure aluminum during anodizing in sulfuric acid bath using …

Hard alumina coatings were formed on three typical Al alloys using a plasma electrolytic
oxidation (PEO) process. The microstructure and protective behavior of the coatings were …

The application of biodegradable Mg alloys as implanted devices has been hindered by
their low corrosion resistance and potential risk associated with microbial infection. In the …
