Surface Modification of Titanium – Part 6 – Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PFO): Factors Influencing & Composite Coatings

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.
