Abstract
The plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process was used to form an oxide layer on an Al5754 aluminum alloy for subsequent application of organic coating. The effect of the oxidation time on the morphology and anticorrosion properties of PEO-coatings was investigated. The oxide layer possess low apparent porosity and provides high adhesion to the paint. The resulting composite coating (CC) is characterized by high barrier properties in chloride solution.
