The plasma electrolytic oxidation is an innovative method for the surface treatment of
titanium and its alloys. This review provides an overview of the historical development of the …

Gray cast iron (GCI) is a popular automotive brake disc material by virtue of its high melting
point as well as excellent heat storage and damping capability. GCI is also attractive …

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

Coatings have been produced on an 2A97 Al–Cu–Li alloy by plasma electrolytic oxidation
(PEO) using dilute and concentrated sodium silicate solutions with pulsed electrical regimes …

Forming high‐temperature α‐Al2O3 phase under soft sparking is an intriguing phenomenon
in plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) of Al alloys, which contradicts the low energy input of …

Although hexavalent chromium-based protection systems are effective and their long-term
