Unavoidable issues of micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coated Al alloys are the micro-defects and
residual stress generation. Some scientists have reported the effects of micro-defects and …

Preparation of coatings with excellent properties is an effective way to address poor wear
and corrosion resistance of aluminum (Al) alloys. Micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings …

The self-healing performance with the improved corrosion resistance of novel CeO 2-sealed
micro-arc oxide (MAO) film on Al alloy was studied in this work for the first time. There are …

In this work, wet shot peening (WSP) was investigated to modify the microstructures and
mechanical properties of a 2060-T8 aluminum-lithium (Al–Li) alloy through numerical and …

In recent times, the rapid rupture of oxide films caused due to their brittleness, porosity,
residual tensile stress, and primary cracks has proven to be the main reason for the …

In this work, effects of Cu content from 1 to 4.5 wt.% on morphologies, phase composition,
and residual stress of micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings on Al-Cu alloys at the oxidation of …

The micro arc oxidation (MAO) coatings corresponding to 50 μm and 90 μm thicknesses
were formed on bare and shot-peened Al alloy and then subjected to polishing process. The …

A novel inhibitor-loaded bilayer hybrid system based on the LDH inner layer and MOF outer
layer is designed on an aluminum alloy 2A12 surface to improve corrosion performance …

The effects of the ultrasonic surface rolling process (USRP), plasma electrolytic oxidation
(PEO), and their combined treatment (USRP+ PEO) on the hot salt corrosion fatigue (HSCF) …

The effects of micro-shot peening (MSP) and artificial surface defects were investigated in
relation to the defect tolerance of Al-Si-0.6 Mg alloy in the framework of fracture mechanics …
