Micro Arc Oxidation (MAO), also known as Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) or Anodic Spark Deposition (ASD), is an advanced surface modification technique developed to produce ceramic-like oxide coatings on lightweight metals, particularly aluminum, magnesium, and titanium alloys. This technique relies on complex physicochemical processes involving electrochemical reactions and plasma discharges in an aqueous electrolyte under high voltage. Coatings obtained by MAO exhibit superior properties

Corrosion is the degradation of materials through chemical or electrochemical reactions induced by environmental factors, resulting in the loss of physical and mechanical properties. Although commonly associated with metals, many materials including polymers and ceramics are also affected by this process. The fundamental driving force behind corrosion is the tendency of the system to reduce its free energy. Refined metals exhibit a thermodynamic tendency to re-oxidize because they possess higher
