A dense inner layer is highly valued among the surface coatings created through plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) treatment, because PEO coating has been troubled by inherent porosity since its conception. To produce favored structure, a proven technique to prompt soft sparking transition, which involves sudden decrease in light and acoustic emissions, drop anodic voltage under controlled current mode. Typically these phenomena occur an electrolyte of sodium silicate potassium hydroxide,...
