Bimetals possess a unique combination of functional characteristics that are not inherent to their individual components. The primary objective of this study is to explore plasma electrolytic processing as a method for the effective surface treatment of bimetals. This technique is both efficient and environmentally friendly, making it suitable for surface processing, including heat or thermochemical treatment, cleaning, and polishing. The methodology involves assessing different voltage ranges during the anodic process, enabling identical or distinct treatment of bimetal components in the same electrolyte. The results demonstrate the feasibility of both separate and simultaneous heat or thermochemical treatment and polishing of the bimetal components. For instance, the titanium/stainless steel bimetal was heated to 620°C, the molybdenum/stainless steel to 630°C, and the aluminum/stainless steel to temperatures between 720°C and 850°C, all without exceeding 140°C for the second component. Furthermore, during an 8-minute polishing session, the reflection coefficients for the aluminum/stainless steel bimetal surfaces increased significantly from 0.5-2% to over 40%. The findings indicate the potential for optimizing the treatment processes for various bimetal configurations.
