An Abrasive Wear Forecasting Method in the Design of Soil-Cutting Tools

Resumo

This study presents an abrasive wear forecasting method for soil-cutting tools at the stage of tool engineering. The essence of the proposed method consists in constructing expected loading diagrams and revealing pressure values in different parts of a soil-cutting component and then selecting material for its manufacturing or hardening. It is shown that based on synthesis of load diagrams, the regions of highest abrasive wear on a soil-cutting tool are found.
