“…Many researchers performed the plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) and micro arc oxidation (MAO) on Mg and Al alloys to obtain the porous structure that solved the relative adhesion problems of polymer top coatings on the surfaces. Furthermore, the PEO and MAO surfaces acted as containers to store different inhibitors, and the pH changes provided active corrosion protection in the defect area and improved its barrier properties (Golabadi et al, 2017a;Yang et al, 2018a;Yang et al, 2018b;Pezzato et al, 2019;Toorani et al, 2020;Liu et al, 2021;Ostapiuk, 2021;Toorani et al, 2021;Zeng et al, 2021;Zhang et al, 2021). Golabadi et al (2017b) showed that the compaction and cathodic disbondment of the epoxy coating were enhanced on the phosphated coating consisting of different additives.…”
