Composition and Tribological Properties of Hardened Cutting Blades of Tillage Machines under Abrasive Deterioration

详细

The article presents the results of metallographic study of low-carbon 20 steel grade and high-carbon 70 and 65G steel grades upon carburizing, heat treatment, and laser hardening. The change in the microhardness through the depth of the surface layer of steels and their abrasion resistance upon hardening under different conditions has been measured. Optimal hardening conditions have been proposed for steels for cutting blades of tillage machines that enable the durability of the blades to be improved.
