Conclusions
1. ESA applied to the working parts of microsurgical gripping instruments has been used with wear-resistant alloys to improve the functions and lengthen the working life.
2. The alloy-layer thicknesses for the various materials deposited under the same conditions are substantially dependent on the electrode plasticity.
