Multiple factors both intrinsic and extrinsic, influence the process and the nature and properties of the PEO coatings produced therein. The compositions of substrate materials and electrolyte are considered to be intrinsic factors which play a crucial role for the structure and composition of the coatings, while the extrinsic factors generally consist of electrical parameters, bath temperature, and processing time.

Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is also known as micro arc oxidation (MAO), electrolytic plasma oxidation (EPO), micro plasma oxidation (MPO), micro arc discharge oxidation (MDO), anodic spark deposition (ASD) or spark anodization (SA). This technique has emerged as one of the most effective, a rather inexpensive and environmentally benign process to fabricate well-adherent ceramic oxide layers on valve metals.

Anodizing is an electrochemical process that converts the surface of a metallic job into a protective metal oxide film. The process is carried out in a electrolytic cell where a job is made of an anode and an inert metal as a cathode. After applications, mechanisms and morphology of anoding in the July issue of Galvanotechnik, this part focuses on anodizing in aqueous, organic and deep eutectic solvents.

Anodizing is an electrochemical process that converts the surface of a metallic job into a protective metal oxide film. The process is carried out in an electrolytic cell where a job is made of an anode and an inert metal as a cathode. When the electric current of sufficient voltage is passed through a suitable electrolyte the metal surface is converted to an adherent oxide coating which forms an integral part of the substrate [1–5].

Sandblasted large grit and acid-etched (SLA) titanium implants represent the most widely accepted, long-term clinically proven surface modification technique for biomedical implants, manufactured by either commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti) or Ti6Al4V ELI alloy. Electropolishing removes a
controlled amount of surface material from the outer layer of the object.

The outstanding properties of titanium and titanium alloys make them an ideal manufacturing material for the production of components for aerospace, automotive and surgical implants, among others. However, bare titanium cannot meet all functional requirements. To further improve chemical, mechanical and biological properties, the surface of titanium is modified. This article reviews recent advances in titanium alloy electrolytic surface modification methods in 6 parts.

Plating on titanium has long been considered extremely difficult. For successful plating on titanium, the chosen process must ensure to complete removal of the native oxide before proceeding for plating. Processes of electroless nickel, gold plating, and blackening of electroless nickel on titanium alloys are discussed in the article.
