Investigation Of The Reduction Of Mouldboard Ploughshare Wear Through Hot Stamping And Hardfacing Processes, Aysel Yazici
Investigation Of The Reduction Of Mouldboard Ploughshare Wear Through Hot Stamping And Hardfacing Processes, Aysel Yazici
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
The effects of the hot stamping process and different hardfacing techniques, such as shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) and gas metal arc welding (GMAW), on the abrasive wear of ploughshares were investigated under field operational conditions. The abrasive wear losses were determined by measuring the weight and dimension changes before and after tillage. The wear losses of hot-stamped and hardfaced ploughshares were less significant than those of the conventionally heat-treated ploughshare specimens used under field conditions. Conventional heat treatment and hardfacing by the SMAW process decreased the wear weight losses by 46.31% and the dimensional losses by 86.77% in comparison …
