Research Progress on the Wear Resistance of Key Components in Agricultural Machinery

Abstract

Agricultural mechanization is crucial in enhancing production efficiency, alleviating labor demands, reducing costs, improving agricultural product quality, and promoting sustainable development. However, wear and tear are inevitable when using agricultural machinery. The failure of critical wear-resistant parts is responsible for over 50% of rural machinery breakdowns. For instance, a domestic combine harvester typically only operates trouble-free for 20 to 30 h, and the service life of a rotary plow knife is approximately 80 h. Investigating the wear performance of key farm machinery components reinforces machinery design and maintenance strategies, extends machinery lifespans, enhances agricultural production efficiency, and advances agrarian sustainability. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the latest research on the wear resistance of crucial agricultural machinery components. It delves into the factors influencing the wear resistance of these components and explores current effective measures to address wear-related issues. Additionally, it also summarizes the challenges and opportunities in researching the wear performance of key components in agricultural machinery and future development directions.

The empirical effect of agricultural social services on pesticide inputs

“…This can also help standardizing pesticide use and improve its efficiency of use. ASS can effectively solve the problems of lack of family labor and insufficient supply of technology, promote the efficient allocation of agricultural resources, and improve the productivity of agricultural technology 46 . Meanwhile, agricultural machinery and equipment can be leased to farmers or contracted for pest control, effectively reducing the amount of pesticides through precise application of medicines, and united distribution and control, thus saving labor costs.…”

Simulation Analysis and Optimization Design of Paddy Field Mud Spreader Blades for Uniform Dispersion

“…Blades are the direct components that perform operational functions in various agricultural machines, such as plows, trenchers, agitators, mud spreaders, ridgers, weeders, and field management tools, playing a pivotal role in determining the operational performance of these implements [5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Scholars have extensively researched the operational performance of blades used in agricultural machinery in soil environments.…”
