Abstract

Alumina coatings are widely used in a range of industrial applications to improve corrosion protection, wear and erosion resistances, and thermal insulation of metallic surfaces. Refined alumina surfaces with long-term use are obtained from various efficient and adjustable processes. It can be seen that costefficient arc-sprayed Al coatings post-treated by plasma-electrolytic oxidation (PEO) form Al2O3 -layers with remarkable corrosion protection, hardness, bonding strength, and abrasion resistance, as well as with the extended service time. The properties of these coatings are compared with alumina coatings obtained by flame spraying and atmospheric plasma spraying.
