Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is one of the new methods of obtaining thin layer oxide ceramic coatings on machine elements of different purpose of use; that allows considerably increase their durability. This paper outlines the results of experimental studies on corrosion resistance of oxide ceramic coatings formed by PEO on various aluminum alloys using KON-N3VO3 electrolyte. Corrosion tests of the samples were performed using the following two methods: 1. According to ASTM G44 'Standard Practice for Exposure of Metals and Alloys by Alternate Immersion in Neutral 3.5% Sodium Chloride Solution', 2. Polarization tests. Both tests of corrosion resistance of aluminum alloys clearly demonstrate that plasma electrolytic oxidation significantly improves corrosion resistance: depending on an alloy, corrosion rates of PEO coated samples are by the factor of 2.5-80 lower as compared with non-coated samples.
