RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Chvojka, Martin A1 Kreibich, Viktor A1 Kudláček, Jan T1 Modern Conversion Layers as High-Performance Alternatives to Aluminum Anodizing and Its Alloys JF Manufacturing Technology Journal YR 2024 VO 24 IS 4 SP 532 OP 538 DO 10.21062/mft.2024.060 UL https://journalmt.com/artkey/mft-202404-0004.php 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.
