Influence of Electrolysis and Plasma Polishing on Surface Properties of SUS304 Stainless Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

Polishing was performed by using a self-made 40kw electrolysis and plasma polishing machine, and the test specimens were SUS304 stainless steel sheets. Roughness, micro-morphology, surface chemical composition and corrosion resistance of the specimens were analyzed. The results show the surface roughness value decreases quickly from Ra=0.573μm to Ra=0.115μm in first 10 minutes polishing. After 30 minutes polishing, the surface roughness value decreases to Ra=0.066μm. Microdefects on the surface are removed obtaining the smooth surface and Cr content of the surface increases slightly as well as the other elements content is nearly unchanged after the polishing, so the corrosion resistance measured by electrochemical analyzer is improved.
