Ta is known for its excellent corrosion resistance due to the formation of a stable oxide layer. The PEO process enhances this property by producing a dense and stable oxide layer, primarily composed of tantalum pentoxide (Ta<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>), which provides superior chemical stability in harsh environments. These oxide coatings significantly improve wear resistance by increasing surface hardness and minimizing porosity. The reduced defect density enhances crack resistance and stress distribution, while the smoother coating surface lowers friction during contact. Additionally, ceramic-like coating that protects against mechanical damage, thereby making it ideal for aerospace and industrial applications. In the biomedical field, PEO-coated Ta demonstrates enhanced biocompatibility and promotes bone integration due to its porous structure, which facilitates mechanical interlocking with surrounding tissues. The process can be tailored to incorporate bioactive materials, further improving implant performance. However, challenges remain, particularly in controlling the porosity of the coatings and optimizing PEO parameters to ensure consistent quality. The efficacy of the PEO process is highly dependent on factors such as electrolyte composition, voltage, and current density, all of which influence the morphology, thickness, and phase composition of the oxide layer. By fine-tuning these parameters, it is possible to achieve coatings with tailored properties that meet the specific requirements of various applications. In summary, PEO coatings significantly extend the applicability of Ta by improving its resistance to wear and corrosion while enhancing its biological properties for medical use, though further optimization is necessary to maximize these benefits.

In general, a satisfactory agreement is found between 2D and 3D characterization techniques. Nevertheless, 3D reconstruction provides information impossible to gather with conventional LIM. First, analysis of the phase content distribution in 3D permits to determine a homogeneous distribution of the cBN particles along the bulk material. Second, 3D tomography allows for assessment of geometrical aspects while also considering a greater number of cBN particles. As a consequence, they are found to exhibit a bimodal distribution rather than a monomodal one, with larger and finer particles showing a tetrahedral-like or a close-to-sphere geometry, respectively.
