PECULIAR FEATURES OF ELECTROLYTIC-PLASMA HEATING DURING ELECTROCHEMICAL HEAT-TREATMENT OF STEEL

Abstract

Thermo-physical peculiar features of anode electrolytic-plasma heating applied for heat and chemical heat-treatment have been investigated in the paper. The paper presents results of the investigations pertaining to influence of the operating voltage on current density, temperature and heating rate, heating power and changes in heat portion passing to the anode. Peculiar features of layer formation which are hardened by electrolytic-plasma carburizing have been presented in the paper.
