Aluminum- and titanium-supported plasma electrolytic multicomponent coatings with magnetic, catalytic, biocide or biocompatible properties

The paper presents some of the directions of developing the plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) technique to form the coatings with magnetic, catalytic, biocompatible or biocidal properties on the valve metals and alloys. It reflects the relationships between the structure, composition and functional properties of PEO coatings. The data presented suggest that PEO is an effective method of physicochemical synthesis on metals and alloys of the surface layers with different chemical composition and certain characteristics.
