It is demonstrated that use of conventional porous anodic film precursors reduces the PEO energy consumption by up to 50%. The wear of 6082 alloy with PEO coatings with added α-Al2O3 particles is two times lower compared with electrolytic hard chrome. The long-term corrosion resistance of the PEO-coated A356 rheocast alloy is enhanced via use of a precursor and hydrophobic post-treatment.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1016/S1003-6326(17)60166-3} (DOI).
