THE USE OF PULSE MODULATION AS A WAY TO IMPROVE THE STRENGTH CHARACTERISTICS OF PLASMA COATINGS

Abstract

Currently, much attention is paid to improving the wear resistance of the sur-face of machine parts. It is possible to improve the quality of surfaces with the use of plasma coat-ings. However, these coatings do not always provide the necessary strength properties. The article considers one of the ways to improve the strength characteristics – the modulation of the electrical parameters of the plasma process.
