    In this study, CeO2-doped ceramic coatings were produced on Al 1050 alloy by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) using a silicate-alkaline electrolyte containing 0, 0.5, 1, and 2% CeO2. The aim was to investigate the effect of CeO2 addition on the microstructure, phase composition, corrosion behavior, and constant-load scratch adhesion performance of the coatings. Surface characterization was carried out by SEM, EDS, XRD, and 3D profilometry, while corrosion performance was evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. Scratch tests were also performed to assess the mechanical integrity of the coatings. The results showed that increasing CeO2 content improved coating uniformity, reduced surface roughness and porosity, and promoted the formation of a denser oxide structure. XRD analysis confirmed that γ-Al2O3 was the predominant alumina phase in all coatings, while Ce-containing species were incorporated into the oxide layer without forming additional detectable phases. Electrochemical results revealed that CeO2 addition significantly improved corrosion resistance by lowering the corrosion current density and increasing the polarization resistance. Scratch test results further showed improved adhesion-related behavior with reduced crack formation and surface damage. Overall, CeO2 addition effectively enhanced both the corrosion protection and mechanical performance of MAO coatings on Al 1050 alloy.

    Investigation of surface morphology, optical properties and the gamma radiation effect on selenium coated glass substrate containing rare earth oxide

    Taşgin, Yahya; Kanca, Muhammed Sait; Kök, Mediha

    In this study, in order to add different properties and functions to inorganic amorphous glasses, the applicability and effects of the thin film coating produced by thermal evaporation method were examined by metallographically imaging the effects of 3%–5% CeO2 and Tm2O3 rare earth elements (REE) oxide added to selenium to change the morphology of the glass surface. As a result of the study, it has been proved that CeO 2 and Tm2O3 added to selenium can be coated by thermal evaporation method with AFM images taken from the glass surface and metallographic analyses (SEM, EDX, Mapping). The lowest roughness value was observed in 95Se–5CeO2 coating glass substrate. In all coatings, selenium, which is the main sample, was found to be active, and XRD measurements showed that the thin films were formed by agglomeration on the (101) plane. According to UV-VIS measurements, the lowest optical band energy range was observed in the 95Se–5CeO2 coating.
