Abstract: This work for the first time reports a monolayer plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) coating on 2024 Al alloy substrate by transient self-feedback control (TSFC) mode. The monolayer coating without outer porous layer exhibits rather excellent compactness and corrosion protection attributed to extensive distribution of scattered ceramic particles with small size and less porosity. A possible mechanism is proposed to explain the formation of TSFC coating. Due to uniform surface distribution of the filming-formative particles and the discharge energy under high frequency square voltage (HFSV) waveform, the formation of the outer porous layer has been prevented effectively.
