“…In cases of elements that do not transfer significant loads or are not exposed to intense abrasive wear during operation, the condition of the surface layer is of lesser importance. However, tools and machinery elements made of steel are exposed to abrasion combined with high unit pressure, impact loads, a corrosive environment, and high operating temperature [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]. In particular, the above-presented operating conditions affect tools being in direct contact with abrasives such as rock, sand, clay or other hard components present, among other things, in the ground.…”
