The developed methods of formation and results of the study of the hydrophobic layers on aluminum alloy, previously subjected to plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) and additional treatment (either in ethanol solution or under UV-radiation in the presence of ozone plasma) with subsequent deposition of the hydrophobic agent (methoxy-{3-[(2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-pentadecafluoroctyl) oxy] propyl}-silane solution in decane) have been described. It was found, that the formed composite layers possess a hydrophobicity (contact angle higher 157o) and high anticorrosion properties (the impedance modulus, |Z|f=0.01Hz, ranges from 9.2·109 to 4.0·1010 Оhm·cm2 depending on the treatment procedure).

The developed methods of formation and results of the study of the hydrophobic layers on aluminum alloy, previously subjected to plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO), boiling in bidistilled water, and additional treatment (either in ethanol solution or under UV-radiation in the presence of ozone plasma) with subsequent deposition of the hydrophobic agent (methoxy-{3-[(2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-pentadecafluoroctyl) oxy] propyl}-silane solution in decane) have been described. It was found, that the formed composite layers possess hydrophobicity (contact angle higher 155o) and high anticorrosion properties (the impedance modulus (|Z|f = 0.01 Hz) ranges from 1.5·108 to 1.7·108 Оhm·cm2 depending on treatment procedure).

The plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process was used to form an oxide layer on an Al5754 aluminum alloy for subsequent application of organic coating. The effect of the oxidation time on the morphology and anticorrosion properties of PEO-coatings was investigated. The oxide layer possess low apparent porosity and provides high adhesion to the paint. The resulting composite coating (CC) is characterized by high barrier properties in chloride solution.

Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is a novel surface treatment process to produce thick, dense metal oxide coatings, especially on light metals, primarily to improve their wear and corrosion resistance. The coating manufactured from the PEO process is relatively superior to normal anodic oxidation. It is widely employed in the fields of mechanical, petrochemical, and biomedical industries, to name a few. Several investigations have been carried out to study the coating performance developed through the PEO process in the past. This review attempts to summarize and explain some of the fundamental aspects of the PEO process, mechanism of coating formation, the processing conditions that impact the process, the main characteristics of the process, the microstructures evolved in the coating, the mechanical and tribological properties of the coating, and the influence of environmental conditions on the coating process. Recently, the PEO process has also been employed to produce nanocomposite coatings by incorporating nanoparticles in the electrolyte. This review also narrates some of the recent developments in the field of nanocomposite coatings with examples and their applications. Additionally, some of the applications of the PEO coatings have been demonstrated. Moreover, the significance of the PEO process, its current trends, and its scope of future work are highlighted.

The paper compares the coatings produced by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) on commercially pure titanium and a novel superelastic alloy Ti-18Zr-15Nb (at. %) for implant applications. The PEO coatings were produced on both alloys in the identical pulsed bipolar regime. The properties of the coatings were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The PEO process kinetics was modeled based on the Avrami theorem and Cottrell equation using a relaxation method. The resultant coatings contain TiO2, for both alloys, and NbO2, Nb2O5, ZrO2 for Ti-18Zr-15Nb alloy. The coating on the Ti-18Zr-15Nb alloy has a higher thickness, porosity, and roughness compared to that on cp-Ti. The values of the kinetic coefficients of the PEO process—higher diffusion coefficient and lower time constant for the processing of Ti-18Zr-15Nb—explain this effect. According to the electrochemical studies, PEO coatings on Ti-18Zr-15Nb alloy provide better corrosion protection. Higher corrosion resistance, porosity, and roughness contribute to better biocompatibility of the PEO coating on Ti-18Zr-15Nb alloy compared to cp-Ti.

The paper presents results of the composite polymer-containing layers formation by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) with subsequent application of the superdispersed polytetrafluoroethylene (SPTFE) aqueous suspension. The corrosion properties and adhesion of coatings have been investigated using potentiodynamic polarization and scratch tests. Incorporation of SPTFE decreased the corrosion current density for composite layers by more than 3 orders of magnitude in comparison with the base PEO-coating and increased the coatings adhesion by 30 %.

AbstractThe SEM and EDS results of porous coatings formed on pure titanium by Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (Micro Arc Oxidation) under DC regime of voltage in the electrolytes containing of 500 g zinc nitrate Zn(NO3)2·6H2O in 1000 mL of concentrated phosphoric acid H3PO4at three voltages, i.e. 450 V, 550 V, 650 V for 3 minutes, are presented. The PEO coatings with pores, which have different shapes and the diameters, consist mainly of phosphorus, titanium and zinc. The maximum of zinc-to-phosphorus (Zn/P) ratio was found for treatment at 650 V and it equals 0.43 (wt%) | 0.20 (at%), while the minimum of that coefficient was recorded for the voltage of 450 V and equaling 0.26 (wt%) | 0.12 (at%). Performed studies have shown a possible way to form the porous coatings enriched with zinc by Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation in electrolyte containing concentrated phosphoric acid H3PO4with zinc nitrate Zn(NO3)2·6H2O.

Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) coating was obtained on AZ31 Mg alloy using a direct current in a sodium silicate-based electrolyte with and without a carbon nanotube (CNT) additive. The surface morphology and phase composition of the PEO coatings were investigated through field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The corrosion-resistance properties of the PEO coatings were evaluated using potentiodynamic polarization measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in a 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. Furthermore, the heat-dissipation property was evaluated by a heat-flux measurement setup using a modified steady-state method and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The results demonstrate that, by increasing the concentration of CNT additive in the electrolyte, the micropores and cracks of the PEO coatings are greatly decreased. In addition, the anticorrosion performance of the PEO coatings that incorporated CNT for the protection of the Mg substrate was improved. Finally, the coating’s heat-dissipation property was improved by the incorporation of CNT with high thermal conductivity and high thermal emissivity.

In this review, the main kinetics and mechanism regularities of plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) of aluminum alloys are discussed. The material and heat balances of the PEO process, including anomalous gas evolution and possible thermochemical reactions are presented for the first time. Side effects accompanying spark discharges from both the surface and the electrolyte sides are analyzed. The influences of electrical regime (direct, alternative, and pulse current) on the rate of coatings growth are summarized from the electrochemical point of view. Different modes of anodic polarization and electrolyte composition (alkaline solutions with inorganic polymers and dispersed constituents) are discussed in the applicative aspect.

The thermal stability of the superhydrophobic properties of coatings obtained on a magnesium alloy by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) followed by treatment with fluoropolymer was studied. It was established that formed surface layers have contact angle (CA) equal to 171° and contact angle hysteresis equal to 6° at 25 °C, which allows to characterize them as superhydrophobic. After 5 cycles of cooling-heating of composite layers, CA was 135°, indicating the durability of coatings. Additionally, obtained polymer-containing layers demonstrated low wettability at 0 °C (CA was 105°).
