Effect of particles addition to solution of plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO)on the properties of PEO coatings formed on magnesium and its alloys:A review

The plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO)procedure is utilized in order to amend the surface properties of Mg and its alloys.This procedure creates a ceramic coating on the surface applying high-voltage.The presence of deep pores and porosities in the surface that affect the corrosion resistance of the coatings is one of the PEO procedure limitations.One of the useful methods to decrease porosities of coating and improve its final properties is changing electrolyte conditions based on the presence of micro-and nanoparticles.The present paper reviews the mechanisms of particle adsorption and composition in PEO thin films in addition to the effect of particle addition on the microstructure,composition and corrosion behavior of coatings that were applied on magnesium alloys.

Surface characterization and corrosion behavior of calcium phosphate(Ca-P)base composite layer on Mg and its alloys using plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO):A review

Magnesium has been known as an appropriate biological material on account of its good biocompatibility and biodegradability properties in addition to advantageous mechanical properties.Mg and its alloys are of poor corrosion resistance.Its high corrosion rate leads to its quick decomposition in the corrosive ambiance and as a result weakening its mechanical properties and before it is repaired,it will vanish.The corrosion and degradation rate must be controlled in the body to advance the usage of Mg and its alloys as implants.Different techniques have been utilized to boost biological properties.Plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO)can provide porous and biocompatible coatings for implants among various techniques.Biodegradable implants are generally supposed to show enough corrosion resistance and mechanical integrity in the body environment.Much research has been carried out in order to produce PEO coatings containing calcium phosphate compounds.Calcium phosphates are really similar to bone mineral composition and present great biocompatibility.The present study deals with the usage of calcium phosphates as biocompatible coatings applied on Mg and its alloys to study the properties and control the corrosion rate.

As an efficient surface modification approach,the plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO)technique can boost the capability of wear protection in Mg and its alloys by applying a hard and thick ceramic coating.In this procedure,more efficient protection can be acquired via adding additives(in the form of particle,powder,sheet,etc.)into solutions and producing composite coatings.These additives result in more efficient protection against wear via getting stuck in the cracks and pores of coatings and rising the thickness,hardness,and diminishing the porosity size and content.The efficiency of each additive can be changed owing to its intrinsic properties like melting point,size,participation type(reactive,partly reactive,or inert)and potential of zeta.In this review,the effects of distinct additives in nano-and micro-scale size on wear behavior of PEO coatings on Mg and its alloys is going to be reviewed.

A review of effective strides in amelioration of the biocompatibility of PEO coatings on Mg alloys

Recently,developing bioactive and biocompatible materials based on Mg and Mg-alloys for implant applications has drawn attention among researchers owing to their suitable body degradability.Implementing Mg and its alloys reduces the risk of long-term incompatibility with tissues because of their close mechanical properties and no need for re-operation to remove the implant.Nevertheless,the degradation rate of the implant needs to be controlled because production of hydrogen gas and accumulation of its bubbles increases local pH around the implants.To confine the integrity of implants and the body,the corrosion concern in the body fluid requires to be addressed.Surface modification as one of the effective strategies can improve corrosion resistance.Besides,it creates a suitable surface for bone grafting and cell growth.The development of proper surface-coated implants needs appropriate techniques and approaches.Plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO)coating can provide long-term protection by providing a ceramic layer and improving the implant’s biocompatibility.Herein,a general review of in-vivo and in-vitro evaluation of PEO coatings on Mg and Mg-alloys has been carried out.Recent advances in surface modification on Mg and Mg-alloys have been discussed,however,the need for reliable laboratory models to predict in-vivo degradation is still valid.

Impressive strides in amelioration of corrosion and wear behaviors of Mg alloys using applied polymer coatings on PEO porous coatings:A review

Magnesium(Mg)and its alloys have received much attention in a lot of areas due to their special chemical and physical properties.Nevertheless,high corrosion rates are a limiting factor.The plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO)technique is a simple approach to place an oxide film on the surface of light metals like Mg alloys.This method has been considered for controlling the rate of corrosion and improving some other properties.On the other hand,PEO coatings cannot make enough protection of Magnesium alloys for a long time due to porosity and fine cracks.Therefore,PEO-based composite coatings are used to make adequate corrosion protection on the Mg alloys surface.The popularity of these coatings is due to their good corrosion resistance,simplicity,high coating capability,and cost-effectiveness in complex segments.Formation of an organic layer on the surface of PEO coating is one of the effective methods to close the defects and thus prevent the corrosive species penetration into the substrate.Coating the PEO coating with a polymer layer can be a good solution to control the amount of damage and improve the corrosion and abrasion resistance.In addition,PEO coating can eliminate the problems of insufficient adhesion of polymer coatings and is considered as a suitable base for composite coatings.This review paper presents the corrosion and abrasion behavior of the PEO/Polymer dual coating system on Mg alloys.Given the fundamental role of coatings thickness and morphology in wear and corrosion behavior,these aspects have been highly discussed in this study.

Antibacterial activity of bioceramic coatings on Mg and its alloys created by plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO): A review

Mg and its alloys are suitable choices for implant materials due to their biodegradability and biocompatibility features. However, the high electrochemical activity of this family of biomaterials results in their fast degradation and severe corrosion in the physiological environment,producing hydrogen(H;) gas, and therefore increasing the p H of the environment. To meet the clinical requirements, the degradation rate of Mg biomaterials needs to be reduced. Nevertheless, higher corrosion resistance of Mg results in a low alkaline p H, weakening the antibacterial activity. Therefore, while the rapid degradation problem of Mg-based biomaterials needs to be addressed, good antibacterial properties are also necessary. By using the plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO) surface modification technique, the antibacterial activity of Mg and its alloys can be enhanced while maintaining their corrosion protection properties at a high level. Throughout the PEO process, introducing antibacterial agents into solutions results in a major increase in antibacterial activity of the coatings. Moreover, post-or pre-processing on PEO coatings can provide better protection against bacteria. In this review, the antibacterial activity of PEO coatings applied on Mg and also its alloys will be discussed in more detail.
