Comparison of the changes in surface roughness parameters of samples “as received” and samples after EP in a bath without ER and with ER (EP process parameters: t = 45–180 min, I = 1.75 A, i = 0.05 A·cm−2, q = 2.25–9.00 Amin·cm−2, and T = 55°C): (a) arithmetical mean deviation of the assessed profile Ra and (b) skewness of the surface roughness profile Rsk and kurtosis of the profile Rku.
