The surface topographic of ceramic coating on Ti6Al4V alloy, which was fabricated by Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation, was investigated by SEM and 3D profile. The chemical compositions and the phase structures were detected by EDS, XRD, FT-IR. The PEO coating shows a rough porous morphology and the chemical phases are anatase and rutile TiO2. In addition, both of calcium-phosphorus ratios of the two samples were above 1.67. The bioactivity was focused on after soaking in SBF (simulated body fluid). It can be concluded by the experimental data that the surface roughness and the composition are corelated to form hydroxyapatite (HA), and the coatings containing Ca and P can induce bioapatite quickly.

The fabrication of a ceramic coating on the metallic substrate is usually applied to achieve the improved performance of the material. Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is one of the most promising methods to reach this performance, mostly wear and corrosion resistance. Traditional PEO is carried out in an aqueous electrolyte. However, the current work showed the fabrication and characterization of a ceramic coating using PEO in molten salt which was used to avoid disadvantages in system heating-up and the formation of undesired elements in the coating. Aluminum 7075 alloy was subjected to the surface treatment using PEO in molten nitrate salt. Various current frequencies were applied in the process. Coating investigations revealed its surface porous structure and the presence of two oxide layers, α-Al2O3 and γ-Al2O3. Microhardness measurements and chemical and phase examinations confirmed these results. Potentiodynamic polarization tests and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy revealed the greater corrosion resistance for the coated alloy. Moreover, the corrosion resistance was increased with the current frequency of the PEO process.
