Reduction of Ploughshare Wear by Means of Carbide Overlay

An intensive abrasive wear of agricultural machines and their parts occurs at the soil processing. An undesirable change of a tool surface occurs owing to the wear. Namely ploughshares of a plough are intensively abrasive worn. This undesirable change leads to a function loss. The paper deals with an evaluation of the ploughshare service life. The aim of the research was to evaluate the wear of the ploughshare with a layer of a carbide hardfacing OK Tubrodur 15.82 deposited on a bottom side of the ploughshare. The research was performed within a laboratory testing (a hardness HV30 and a wear) and field tests. Laboratory experiment results proved that the overlay material showed a significant increase of the wear resistance and the hardness. These conclusions of the laboratory testing were certified at the field tests. The research results certified this procedure as an efficient solution at the decreasing of the ploughshare wear at the ploughing.
