        Special Issue Description

        Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) processing for light metals is known for decades and has been established as a well-known industrial surface treatment offering reasonable wear and corrosion protection. The inherent porosity and constrained compositional range of the PEO layer, however, impede long-term protection. Particles are added to the electrolyte in a unique method to incorporate them into PEO coatings in-situ while they are growing. The concept is that by using particles, flaws may be filled, and the compositional variety and functions of manufactured coatings can be improved. Particle addition has thus far been used to create multifunctional coatings with features such as photocatalysis, bioactivity, self-lubrication, anti-wear, and anti-corrosion. The manner and effectiveness of particle uptake and incorporation into coatings during PEO processing are determined by the particle’s characteristics as well as electrical and electrolyte factors. The particles can be totally reactive or fully inert when they are incorporated into the coating, according to normal practice. The latest developments in particle-containing PEO coatings created on substrates made of magnesium, aluminum, and titanium alloys are reviewed in this work. The primary emphasis is placed on the particle uptake mechanism into PEO layers and the associated microstructural and functional alterations.

        Manuscript Submission information

        Manuscripts should be submitted online by registering and logging in to this link. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed.
        Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent on email address:[email protected] for announcement on this website.

        Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page.
