Anticorrosion layers were prepared on commercial Zr-2.5%Nb alloy by employing plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process in aqueous electrolyte solutions. Microstructure and electrochemical behavior were evaluated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical metallography and potentiodynamic polarization measurements. The obtained coatings are uneven, presenting a dominant monoclinic crystallographic phase of ZrO2. Enhanced corrosion resistance was attributed to the PEO-treated samples compared to the commercial black oxide coating.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the surface observation of PEO-treated Ti–6Al–4V alloy after 2-step nano-mesh formation was investigated by FE-SEM, EDS, and XRD. Anodic oxidation treatment was performed on the electrolyte containing 0.8 wt.% Na/F and 1M H3PO4 to form a nanotube structure on the Ti–6Al–4V alloy. After removing the nanotube layer, PEO-treatment was performed on the electrolyte containing Mg and Zn ions. After forming the nanotubes, the nanomesh surface was obtained by removing the layer, and the surface roughness increased with cycle number of nanotube formation. Also, as the number of nanotubes increased, the anatase peak increased.

Rare earth rich magnesium alloys are used in aerospace and automotive fields because of their high specific strength and good castability. However, due to their low corrosion resistance, protective surface treatments, such as conversion coating or electroless plating are necessary, when they have to be used in humid or corrosive environments. The present study was aimed to evaluate the effect of Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) and different surface roughness on the rotating bending fatigue of an innovative Mg alloy, with a high content of Nd (up to 3.1 wt%) and Gd (up to 1.7 wt %). Fatigue tests revealed a 15% decrease in the fatigue strength of the PEO treated alloy with respect to the bare alloy, probably due to the residual tensile stresses induced by the treatment. The effect of surface roughness on the bare alloy was, instead, negligible. The mechanisms of crack initiation were similar in the untreated and PEO treated alloy, with crack nucleation sites located in correspondence of large facets of the cleavage planes.
