An anodic oxide layer was formed using PEO in a silicate-fluoride alkaline solution. This thin (1.8 μm) porous PEO layer was impregnated with corrosion inhibitor 1,2,4-triazole and sealed with a silica-based sol-gel film modified with titanium oxide. For the first time it was demostrated that this relatevelly thin PEO-based composite coating reveal high barier properties and provide superior protection against corrosion attack during 1 month of continuous exposure to 3% NaCl. Scanning vibrating electrode technique showed sharp decrease (100 times) of corrosion activity in micro defects formed in 1,2,4-triazole doped composite coating, when compared to blank samples.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1039/C5RA22639B} (DOI).
