Abstract
The authors report the results of an experiment that deals with the influence of rotary cutting plasma assisted machining conditions on the required surface quality of hard coatings and the determination of its optimum values. The results obtained have shown that the rotary cutting plasma assisted machining of hard coatings provides the best required surface quality as compared to the conventional methods of machining by turning. The influence of the cutting conditions and the optimum values of the surface quality are discussed in detail.
