Встановлені аналітичні зв’язки технологічних характеристик процесу чорнової розмірної обробки електричною дугою сплаву ТС-15 з режимами обробки і геометричними параметрами. The article is dedicated to development of technology and equipment of rough machining method by electric arc of hard-alloy forming roll side surface, as high performance alternative to traditional methods of rough machining. During operation, the damage to the surface of the hard alloys roll caliber occurs by abrasion and chipping of carbide particles. The development of net shaped roll marks occurs by the occurrence of hotbeds of accelerated cluster abrasion and chipping of smaller particles with subsequent growth of these areas and unification in a closed net shaped roll marks. The turned out particles of hard alloy leave the machining marks on the wire, in such a worn the hard alloy roll does not meet the specified dimensions and it is reground to a smaller diameter by grinding of diamond tool on the rough machining stage. It is proposed on the stage of rough machining to remove the worn-out profile of hard alloy roll side surface with help of dimensional electric arc, which allows you to remove big allowances of material at the lowest treatment costs. In this case, the processing cycle of hard alloy side surface decreased of 1,9 times. The justification of technical scheme of forming the hard alloy roll side surface by electric arc sizing method is done taking into account features of physical formatting mechanism and hydrodynamic phenomena in the electrode gap. The analytical communication of technological characteristics of rough machining process by electric arc alloy TS-15, with the modes of processing and geometric parameters are established
