Coating assisted surface finishing process

摘要

A method of polishing a first component by a second component of a tribological pair is disclosed. The method includes mating the first component to the second component in a tribological configuration. The first component and the second component are moved such that a first surface of the first component and a second surface of the second component contact and slide against each other, so that the second component polishes the first component. The method further includes discontinuing moving of the first component and the second component when the first surface obtains a desired surface finish.
