Due to the formation of porous oxide on the steel surface it can't directly use by PEO procedure. Therefore, in this research, hot diPping process (at 750°C and 5 min) was used to deposit Al coating on steel substrate. Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) was aPplied on the obtained aluminized coating to measure its resistance to corrosion attack. SEM was used to evaluate the microstructure of PEO coatings deposited on aluminized steel by different aPplied Voltages. XRD was also used to analyze the phases on PEO coatings generated by aPplied different Voltages. Corrosion behavior of the coatings was also investigated using polarization tests in 3.5% NaCl solution. Results in indicated that the coated samples prepared at 400 Volts developed a coatings with porosity of  about 4.86% and a thickness of  30 μm had a corrosion current density of 2.88 ×10-8 A/cm2  which in comparison to that of coated samples produced at Voltages of 350 and 450 Volts with corrosion current densities of 1.04×10-7 A/cm2 and
 2.18×10-7 A/cm2  respectively showed an improvement of 1.98 to 2.5 times in corrosion resistance
