Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation of light alloys for corrosion protection and surface functionalization

摘要

The demand of modern technological society for light structural materials (Al, Ti, Mg) emphasizes a combination of good corrosion resistance with wear properties and functionalized surfaces. Their extensive field of applications ranges from mechanical aspects and transport components to bioengineering. Regardless of the final application, improved tailored surfaces are required to prolong service life and reduce long-term costs.
