This paper examines the scattering capacity of a carbonate electrolyte during electrolytic plasma polishing (EPP) using a sectional anode. The effects of electrolyte concentrations of 3 and 6%, temperature (60, 80, and 100 °C), operating voltage (250, 300, and 350 V), and hydrodynamic conditions on the current distribution and process stability were experimentally studied. It was shown that a temperature of 80 °C ensures the maximum stability of the scattering capacity, which is important for reproducible machining under unstabilized voltage conditions. The results of this study expand the understanding of EPP mechanisms in carbonate electrolytes and can be used to optimize the machining of complex-geometry parts.
Keywords: electrolytic plasma polishing, scattering capacity, sectional anode, current distribution.
