“…The breakdowns (also known as "microdischarges"), accompanying the reaction of electrochemical substrate oxidation, transform amorphous deposited film into crystalline forms, as well as provide sintering and densification of the coating materials. Such coatings have perspective applications as antifriction and wear-resistive materials [4,5], anticorrosion protection [6][7][8][9], support for catalysts [10,11], bio-active [12], decorative [13][14][15], thermal barriers [16], electric insulating [17] layers, optical active coatings [18,19], magnetic shielding enclosures [20,21], etc. Unlike conventional anodising, a typical electrolyte solution for PEO does not include any mineral acids or heavy metals, it is normally a dilute solution (0.1-5 wt.%) of alkali, borate, aluminate, silicate, carbonate, phosphate, etc.…”
