The scientists of India have developed an environment-friendly procedure that can deliver excellent corrosion resistance to high-strength aluminium alloys exhaustively used in aerospace, textile, and automotive applications. The process, labelled micro-arc oxidation (MAO), implies an electrochemical method for the production of an oxide film on the metallic substrate. The electrolyte of the film is alkaline and competent in delivering better wear and corrosion resistance emulating to the existing process.
