The wear resistance and feasibility of applying soil rippers have been studied after surfacing for use in the clayey soil. The study illustrates laboratory and production research of standard and novel (with large grain tungsten carbide) material for manual electric arc surfacing. Hardness and wear resistance in the clayey soil have been determined. Rippers (and the components of soil cultivating machinery yield the least wear by using wear resistant materials and the comprehensive surfacing of tailing and lateral surfaces. It is shown that hard alloy tips of rippers are better suited for clayey soil, which is the toughest to cultivate. The best wear resistance in clayey soil is found in hard alloyed layers of Fe-C-Cr-Si-Mo-Nb-W and Fe-C-Mn-B alloys. The wear rate depends on the depth of cultivation and varies exponentially.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
