In this review, the main kinetics and mechanism regularities of plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) of aluminum alloys are discussed. The material and heat balances of the PEO process, including anomalous gas evolution and possible thermochemical reactions are presented for the first time. Side effects accompanying spark discharges from both the surface and the electrolyte sides are analyzed. The influences of electrical regime (direct, alternative, and pulse current) on the rate of coatings growth are summarized from the electrochemical point of view. Different modes of anodic polarization and electrolyte composition (alkaline solutions with inorganic polymers and dispersed constituents) are discussed in the applicative aspect.

Abstract The corrosion rates for commercial aluminum, containing 4 percent manganese and 3 percent iron, have been determined in sodium hydroxide solutions under different conditions. The inhibitor efficiencies have been calculated for the following substances, the efficiency decreasing from 90 to 60 percent in the order: agar-agar, gum-acaciae, dextrin, gelatin, glue. Corrosion potentials have been measured with and without dextrin inhibitor, and cathodic and anodic polarization studies made. The results show that the dissolution of the metal is electrochemical in character. The corrosion process appears to be under mixed control with predominance of action of dextrin inhibitor on the anodic areas of the metal surface. 6.4.2, 4.3.3, 5.8.2

Galvanostatic cathodic discharge and open-circuit decay transients have been obtained for the decarboxylation of formate in formic acid and interpreted quantitatively in terms of the adsorption of intermediates in the reaction. These intermediates are identified with HCOO• radicals. Extended anodic polarization at platinum and particularly at palladium leads to the formation of films of an anodic product which are considerably thicker than a monolayer. After relatively long times (> 100 seconds) of anodic polarization, the film growth obeys the inverse logarithmic rate law deduced by Mott and Cabrera. The thick films which are formed at palladium are believed to be responsible, upon autocatalytic decomposition, for the delayed gas evolution phenomenon observed at this metal.A new method for deduction of adsorption pseudocapacitance and charge associated with the ad-layer from open-circuit decay curves and Tafel parameters is used to obtain the pseudo-capacitance and charge associated with the transition region in the current–potential curves for the formate decarboxylation. It is shown that this region corresponds to filling of the surface with adsorbed intermediates formed in the reaction. These observations are shown to support the reaction mechanism proposed in Part I.

The electrodeposited Ni-P coatings are commonly used for their electrocatalytic properties towards hydrogen evolution reaction. However, their corrosion resistance in concentrated alkaline solutions is still less known. In this work, the effect of phosphorus on the resistance of nickel electrodeposits to electrochemical corrosion in 5 M KOH solution, was studied. Open circuit potential and anodic polarization measurements were performed to determine parameters of the corrosion resistance of the crystalline Ni deposit and amorphous Ni-P electrocoating. It was found that alloying of nickel with phosphorus is the effective manner of the improvement of the corrosion resistance of the nickel coatings. The obtained Ni-P electrode material contained 10 wt.% of P and revealed amorphous structure. The increase in the corrosion resistance of the Ni90P10system as compared to that determined for comparable Ni polycrystalline electrode was due to phosphate formation responsible for broad passivation potential in alkaline medium and amorphous structure.
