“…Therefore, the difference of fatigue life between PEO coating and PEO with impregnation epoxy resin was to be caused by the difference of fatigue crack initiation life. Moreover, the difference of fatigue life and influence factors (except the surface hardness without discussion) between hard anodized coating and PEO coating on the aluminum alloys had been described in previous literature by Yerokhin et al (1999Yerokhin et al ( , 2004Yerokhin et al ( , 2005, Lonyuk et al (2007), Nykyforchyn et al (1998), Sheasby and Pinner (2001), Rateick et al (1996), Asquith et al (2006), Khan et al (2005), Dieter and Bacon (1988), Monsalv et al (2007), and Rajasekaran, Raman, Krishna, Joshi, and Sundararajan (2008). The synergistic effects of oxide coating and aluminum substrates attracted a wide variety of study by means of choosing different processing parameters in the anodized coating process.…”
