Influence of Pad Welding on the Wear Of Vibration Ripper Teeth

Abstract

Due to the rapid wear of the teeth of the vibration rippers that work to compact and very compact soils, their regeneration by means of pad welding is becoming more and more common. This article presents the technology of pad welding ripper teeth and materials used to pad them. The paper presents the results of comparative research in the wear of new teeth and teeth subjected to the process of pad welding. The research results showed lower wear in welded teeth. The use of padding welds to strengthen the surface of teeth results in prolonging their service life.
