(a) Voltage vs time graph demonstrating the low energies required to produce oxide coatings on T1 Ti alloys using eco-friendly PEO electrolytic baths. (b) As-received T1 Ti alloy machined to 8 mm × 20 mm × 0.1 mm substrate dimensions for PEO treatment. (c) PEO-treated T1 alloys with silicates in the organo-alkaline bath. The ceramic coating, Ti-A, is continuous and bluish grey in appearance. (d) PEO treated T1 alloys with silicates and aminophenol in the organo-alkaline bath (Ti-B). The coatings, Ti-A and Ti-B, appear to be visually similar. Photo credit: F. Hou (bd).
