Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation PEO or another name called Micro-arc Oxidation MAO can be used to enhance surface properties of light metallic alloys. By optimize the additive concentration in electrolyte, the corrosion resistance and wear of aluminium alloy can be dramatically improved. Our PEO works shown that the lifetime of PEO treated Al alloy can be over 5000 hours in the salt spraying test and the wear rate has been significantly reduced as hard alumina phase has formed with higher hardness.
