4. Discussion
5. Conclusions
- 1.
- The study of polishing a part with a beam of fast argon atoms with a large angle of incidence on the part surface showed that, with the help of the beam, it is possible to significantly increase the surface finish class.
- 2.
- Deposition on a part of a coating with a thickness significantly exceeding the height of the protrusions on its surface does not reduce its roughness.
- 3.
- A simultaneous deposition of coating on a part surface being sputtered by a beam of fast argon atoms with a large angle of incidence to the surface noticeably increases the polishing speed.
- 4.
- Due to combined treatment of the part with explosive ablation of surface protrusions, polishing with a beam of fast neutral atoms, and deposition of wear-resistant coating, the coating adhesion was substantially improved and the abrasive wear became three times smaller.
