Popis: This work investigates the characteristics of oxide films formed on Ti and the Ti alloy through a plasma electrolyte oxidation (PEO) process in highly alkaline medium in the presence or absence of phosphate ions. The obtained coatings showed different characteristics when they formed in high alkaline phosphate solutions particularly was anatase for Ti and rutile/titanium phosphate for the Ti alloy layer. Films formed in aqueous solution without KOH caused a reduction in current density and also reduced the number of microarcs, while in electrolytes with high OH- concentration, the current was low and the density of sparks was significant.
