Toward a nearly defect-free coating via high-energy plasma sparks

Abstract A nearly defect-free metal-oxide-based coating structure was made on Al-Mg-Si alloy by plasma electrolytic oxidation at high current density accompanying high-energy plasma sparks. The present coatings were performed at two different current densities of 50 and 125 mA/cm2 in the alkaline-ph...
