Examples of low-temperature plasma hardening of tools: 1 – working chamber, 2 – plasma cloud, 3 – tool (drill), 4 – tool holder
Source publication
Treatment of the cutting tool with a low-temperature plasma gas discharge formed by the interaction of microwave electromagnetic and electrostatic fields directly around the working part ensures its hardening by changing the values of the parameters that characterize the physical–mechanical and electrophysical properties of the surface layer.

This article presents the results of comparative analysis of diffusion and chemical processes running upon contact interaction with processed material of a regular cutting tool and of a tool with the surface layer of the working part modified by the impact of gas discharge.
