“…Ceramic coatings have been recently found promising for a variety of industrial applications in order to improve wear resistance [1][2][3], corrosion resistance [4][5][6][7][8], heat resistance [9], biocompatibility [10][11][12][13], and photocatalystic activity [14][15][16][17][18][19] of metals and alloys. These coatings are fabricated by different techniques such as oxidation of the metal surfaces [3,[20][21][22], sol-gel process [19], vapor phase deposition [23,24], electrophoresis [25], and thermal spray [26,27].…”
