APPLICATION OF TRIBOLOGICALLY ACTIVE SURFACE TO A METAL WORK-PIECE USING ELECTROCHEMICAL MACHINING

摘要

The invention provides a method for machining a work-piece. The method includes the step of disposing a surface of a work-piece and an electrode a predetermined distance apart. The method also includes the step of directing a flow of electrolyte between the surface and the electrode. The method also includes the step of applying a voltage across the surface and the electrode to machine the work- piece to generate a current. The method also includes the step of adding a first predetermined material to the flow of electrolyte to bind to the surface of the work- piece and leave a protective layer.
