The Plasma Electrolytic Method of Oxidation (PEMO ) is proved powerful for producing the wear and corrosion-resistant coating of the oxide layer for exclusive applications. This technique is having a better capability for industrial use for growing proactive coatings on material like Aluminium, Magnesium, Titanium for diverse application of lightweight and high temperature requirements applications. The paper consists of review of papers primarily based on the surface modification amendment method of plasma arc oxidation of aluminium and its alloy. Because the process characterized by the discharge generated by electrode, electrolyte composition and oxide coating morphology which might be crucial component for effectiveness of the technique. The purpose of the paper is to write the systematic review for electrodes, electrolyte compositions, and its effect in improving the characteristics of aluminium alloys. There is a large scope for enhancing the method and monitoring the electric parameters of PEMO for massive applications in regions of automotive wherein the modification in surfaces can replace the components by the lightweight aluminium alloy material. The attempt is made to pick the key elements inside the technique. The scope of designing numerous optimization algorithms and analytical modelling is a key area for further research which can help to screen the technique extra precisely to get an optimized coating microstructure.
