Abstract
This work demonstrates for the first time an augmentation to electrolyte jet processing which allows plasma electrolytic oxidation to be undertaken. Using a sequential process it is possible to produce micro features (≈500 μm width) with a resolution limited only by nozzle geometry but with significant enhancement to substrate surface properties. Here the technique is demonstrated and the resulting modification is compared on the microscale to properties of conventionally produced plasma electrolytic oxide coatings. The technique is further demonstrated through the creation of an exemplar titanium component which features localised surface oxidation treated mating features.
