Popis: This research is aimed at improvement of corrosion properties for Zr-1Nb alloy via plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO). The coatings obtained in DC, pulsed unipolar and pulsed bipolar modes were assessed using SEM, XRD, PDP and EIS techniques. It was shown that pulsed unipolar mode provides the PEO coatings having promising combination of the coating thickness, surface roughness, porosity, corrosion potential and current density, and charge transfer resistance, all contributing to corrosion protection of the zirconium alloy for advanced fuel cladding applications.
