By changing the process parameters e.g. electrolyte composition, current density, duration etc. a wide variety of coatings can be produced and adapted to applications ranging from automotive to medical. However, latter applications are still limited. The present chapter will provide a state-of-the-art overview of PEO processing for magnesium biomedical applications including processing parameters, coating compositions and properties.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-1-78242-078-1.00008-6} (DOI).
