INFLUENCE OF PLASME ELECTROLYTIC POLISHING ON THE ROUGHNESS OF TiN VACUUM-ARC COATING
This paper presents the results of the analysis of the effect of electrolyte-plasma polishing of the coating obtained by the vacuum arc method on the surface roughness. During the study, physical methods of applying protective coatings of high-speed steel P6M5 and subsequent electrolyte-plasma polishing were used. As a result of the analysis of experimental data, it was found that when the EPP time is more than 1 minute, the coating is completely removed. Thus, for the coating in question, the processing time should be no more than 1 minute, since after that the surface of the substrate is etched.
