Plasma electrolytic Oxidation coatings for engine components

This work summarizes the corrosion, tribological and tribocorrosion response of different Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) coatings developed on aluminium-silicon alloys destined to replace cast iron liners in a total aluminium engine block, as well as the tribological behaviour of Mg pistons improved with PEO treatments as possible candidates for Al pistons replacement.
