Plasma electrolytic polishing (PEP) has gained much attention owing to various surface modifications including oxidation or removal of material by selective dissolution of chemical compounds. During the PEP process, a volatilization of the electrolyte leads to a gas layer around the working electrode accompanied with spark discharges. The stability of the gaseous layer directly influences the material removal rate. Here, we investigate the temporal behavior of the gaseous layer involving numerous single discharges by synchronized electrical monitoring (current and voltage waveforms) and optical inspection (high-speed video, 1000 fps). We report on observations regarding oscillating discharge current and characteristic frequencies obtained by fast Fourier transformation (FFT) in relation to the process parameters and the temporal evolution of the workpiece temperature.
