Heat Treatment Technology and Property Study on 40Cr of Shearer Picks Body

Abstract

Cutting tooth especially due to the poor quality of the shearer brazing, caused enormous economic losses each year in our country, which caused great pick consumption and delayed hours, and then resulting in reduced efficiency. The tooth body wear of the whole shearer picks accounts for half of its overall failure. In this experiment, the heat treatment which included heating temperature, soaking time, and cooling, etc. was designed by service conditions and performance requirements of the body material 40Cr. The change of microstrcture and mechanical property was analysed by quenching and tempering treatment, thus prolong the service life of shearer picks by improving the comprehensive performance of the tooth body material.
