In September 2020, Keronite's vice-president Professor Suman Shrestha presented a talk for a surface engineering webinar hosted by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). His presentation explained the benefits of Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) as an advanced surface engineering approach for aluminium alloys. In the webinar, he discusses:
- Why aluminium components in some applications require surface engineering
- What's involved in the PEO process
- How PEO compares to more traditional surface treatments like hard anodising
- The most useful applications for PEO on aluminium alloys including satellites and automotive brakes
- The potential of thermal swing coatings
View the full webinar above to learn more about PEO as a solution to the engineering challenges posed by aluminium alloys!
