20.500.12556/RUL-158641 Influence of anode immersion speed on current and power in plasma electrolytic polishing Plasma electrolytic polishing (PeP) is mainly used to improve the surface quality and thus the performance of electrically conductive parts. It is usually used as an anodic process, i.e., the workpiece is positively charged. However, the process is susceptible to high current peaks during the formation of the vapour–gaseous envelope, especially when polishing workpieces with a large surface area. In this study, the influence of the anode immersion speed on the current peaks and the average power during the initialisation of the PeP process is investigated for an anode the size of a microreactor mould insert. Through systematic experimentation and analysis, this work provides insights into the control of the initialisation process by modulating the anode immersion speed. The results clarify the relationship between immersion speed, peak current, and average power and provide a novel approach to improve process efficiency in PeP. The highest peak current and average power occur when the electrolyte splashes over the top of the anode and not, as expected, when the anode touches the electrolyte. By immersion of the anode while the voltage is applied to the anode and counterelectrode, the reduction of both parameters is over 80%. plasma electrolytic polishing vapour–gaseous envelope immersion speed peak current average power process initialisation plazemsko elektrolitsko poliranje parno-plinska ovojnica hitrost potapljanja vršni tok povprečni tok inicializacija procesa true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2024-06-18 13:10:47 2024-06-18 13:10:51 2024-07-02 03:38:34 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 13 str. iss. 6, art. 783 Vol. 15 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 621.7+621.9 2072-666X 10.3390/mi15060783 199241731 Valentincic...-Influence_of_anode_immersion_speed_on_current_and_power_in_plasma_electrolytic_polishing.pdf Valentincic...-Influence_of_anode_immersion_speed_on_current_and_power_in_plasma_electrolytic_polishing.pdf 1 19A58F52016CB88F9888B2E76EEAAF47 f695ecf87b4e7aff084a7940ea1213dbd365157478add3a825818e267322e09f c4518f68-2d63-11ef-88cb-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=186338 https://www.mdpi.com/2072-666X/15/6/783 1 6e912baa-2d63-11ef-88cb-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=186336 Fakulteta za strojništvo 0 0 0
