Plasma-electrolytic polishing of metals products

Abstract

Plasma-electrolytic polishing (PEP) of titanium alloy and other metals where plasma effect takes place when voltage does not exceed 80V DC.

1 . method of plasma electrolytic polishing surface metal products, including immersion in electrolyte, processed products and electro-conducting auxiliary electrode (cathode) and the application of permanent tension between manufacturing and product support electrode, only difference is that in order to reduce energy consumption and to avoid the risk of destruction of people with electric shocks, DC voltage does not exceed 80 V. 
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1 , characterized that as the electrolyte use water or water-organic solutions inorganic acids and their salts. 
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 1 , characterized that the temperature of the electrolyte is in the interval from 20 to 100 C, mostly from 70 to 100 C.
