Abstract
During PEO (plasma-electrolytic-oxidation) treatment of titanium, the relationship between the thickness of oxide film and the measured electrical information was investigated. A simple real time monitoring method based on the electrical information being gathered during PEO treatment is proposed. The proposed method utilizes the current flowing from a high frequency voltage source to calculate the resistance of an oxide film, which is converted into the thickness of an oxide film. This monitoring method can be implemented in PEO system in which an oxide film is grown by constant or pulsed voltage/current sources.
