Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) or microarc oxidation process has been carried out on Ti6Al4V substrate in electrolytic bath containing sodium silicate and sodium hypophosphate. The phase composition, microstructure and roughness of the PEO coating are examined by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and profilometry techniques, respectively. Wavelength-dependent thermo-optical properties viz. solar absorptance (α) and IR emittance (ε) are recorded by UV-VIS-NIR and FTIR spectrophotometer, respectively. Nanomechanical properties such as nanohardness (H) and Young’s modulus (E) are evaluated by well-established nanoindentation technique. The PEO coating is found to be hydrophobic (contact angle ~108°) and possesses low thickness of 5-9 μ m. Average ε is obtained to be 85% while average α is recorded as 76%. The characteristics H and E values are 2.59 GPa and 81.45 GPa, respectively. The PEO coating is also characterized with respect to potentiodynamic polarization and impedance spectroscopy to evaluate corrosion resistance. The total impedance and corrosion current density (i) are in the order of 1 MΩ and 10 µA.cm, respectively. The results indicate superior corrosion resistance of the present PEO coating compared to similar coatings reported in the literature.
