Titanium has broad application prospects in the field of hard bone tissue repair and replacement due to its low density, an elastic modulus similar that human bone, better biocompatibility than stainless steel cobalt-based alloys. However, titanium is a biologically inert material with biological activity. After implantation, it only physically bonds instead chemically bonding, which causes com...

The plasma electrolytic oxidation is an innovative method for the surface treatment of titanium and its alloys. This review provides overview historical development process summarizes current state art. chemical as well electro- plasma-chemical basics layer forming mechanisms, which comprises substrate/electrolyte interface before discharge initiation different types stages phenomena are explai...

The biodegradable metals, including magnesium (Mg), are a convenient alternative to permanent metals but fast uncontrolled corrosion limited wide clinical application. Formation of barrier coating on Mg alloys could be successful strategy for the production stable external layer that prevents corrosion. Our research was aimed develop an oxide using plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) in silicat...

Thick ZnO/ZnAl2O4 coatings were synthesized on zinc alloy Z1 substrates through plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) for different anodization times. The prepared characterized by scanning SEM, XRD, diffuse reflectance and photoluminescence spectroscopy in order to establish the relationship between their structural optical properties PEO processing parameters. Under conditions (anodization time...
