Description
Summary:The plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) procedure is utilized in order to amend the surface properties of Mg and its alloys. This procedure creates a ceramic coating on the surface applying high-voltage. The presence of deep pores and porosities in the surface that affect the corrosion resistance of the coatings is one of the PEO procedure limitations. One of the useful methods to decrease porosities of coating and improve its final properties is changing electrolyte conditions based on the presence of micro- and nanoparticles. The present paper reviews the mechanisms of particle adsorption and composition in PEO thin films in addition to the effect of particle addition on the microstructure, composition and corrosion behavior of coatings that were applied on magnesium alloys.
