Welding materials used to increase service life of agricultural machinery processing soil

Abstract

Intensive abrasive wear occurs in soil-treatment machines. This article is focused on increasing the service life of ploughs by the welding material. The welding material is applied at a 45° angle to the tool. This material is abrasive wear resistant. The welding material was applied parallel to the head of ploughshares with spacing of 60 mm. Carbide materials were used (SK 258 TiC-O, SK 900-O, SK A43-O, SK 299- O, SK A45-O, OK TUBRODUR 15.82, SK 258 TiC-O). The tested ploughshare variants were wearing the same when were used the welding material and the standard.
