Characterisation Method of the Passivation Mechanisms during the pre-discharge Stage of Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation indicating the Mode of Action of Fluorides in PEO of Magnesium

Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is a method to obtain protective coatings on metallic light-weight construction materials. Here, the workpiece receives a strong anodic polarisation in a suitable aqueous electrolyte, which leads to the formation of a passive layer and a gaseous shell. Afterwards,...
