...Defen Zhang; Xiongxiong Tian; Yukun Wang; Xin Yan; En Liu; Xiaowen Chen Aluminium and its alloys have low density and excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. However, aluminium is a highly reactive element, which significantly reduces its performance. Micro-arc oxidation ( MAO ) technology...

...Seyed Alireza Ensaniat; Jaroslaw W. Drelich; Farid Naeimi; Hamid Reza Bakhsheshi-Rad The high corrosion rate of magnesium-based materials limits their use in clinical applications. To tackle this problem, laser surface texturing ( LST ) treatment and laser surface textured micro-arc oxidation (LST...

... oxidation technology and incorporating different concentrations of graphene particles to prepare composite coating layers, with a base electrolyte solution of silicate–phosphate composite salt. The results indicate that the addition of graphene promotes the micro-arc oxidation process. As the concentration...
