PT Journal AU Chvojka, M Kreibich, V Kudlacek, J TI Modern Conversion Layers as High-Performance Alternatives to Aluminum Anodizing and Its Alloys SO Manufacturing Technology Journal PY 2024 BP 532 EP 538 VL 24 IS 4 DI 10.21062/mft.2024.060 DE PEO (Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation); Non-ferrous Metal Anodizing; Conversion Layers; Conventional Anodization AB The paper focuses on a novel and perspective surface treatment technology called Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) applied to aluminium and its alloys. This innovative technology generates layers with specific properties, particularly suitable for tribological and heat-resistant applications. Plasma Electro-lytic Oxidation technology represents an alternative to conventional oxidation methods, offering high utility properties and presenting a completely new approach to surface modification.
