The influence of the chemical composition of the hardened auger on its wear during dehydration process of municipal solid waste in the garbage truck

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the study of the influence of the chemical composition of the hardened auger by the chromium on its wear during dehydration of solid waste in the garbage truck. Using the rotatable central composition planning of the experiment of the second order by means of the Box-Wilson method, the dependencies of auger wear depending on the chemical composition of the hardened steel and friction path are determined. The responce surfaces of the objective functions are shown – the wearing of the hardened steel and energy consumption of the dehydration process by the hardened auger press of the mixed municipal solid waste according to the influense parameters. It is established that on the friction path s = 56850 m, during the dehydration process of solid waste in the garbage truck, the simultanuous incresing of the carbon content from 0.45% to 2.1%, and the chromium content – from 0.25% to 12%, at the optimum content of the manganese as 0.527% in the hardened steel of the auger, enable to decrease the energy consumption of the dehydration process of solid waste by 25.7 kWh/tons, or 10.7%. Therefore, it tends to cheaper the process of dehydration in the garbage truck. It is established the expediency of further research for the determination the rational composition and the structural state of the auger material and the ways to increase its wear resistance.
