Increasing microhardness and hardening depth of grade 2 wheel steel using fiber lasers

The article presents the review of the main methods of restoration and repair of machine parts: mechanical and bench work, welding, surfacing, metal coating, chrome plating, nickel plating, steeling (iron plating), bonding, hardening the surface of parts and restoring their shape under pressure. The areas of application of each method, its advantages and disadvantages are noted. Welding and surfacing are used to restore more than half of all repaired car parts. With the help of welding, cracks and fractures on the frame and platform are repaired, patches, various overlays and reinforcing gussets are put, and the crankcases of the units are restored. Damaged or worn threads on stub axles and other parts are restored by welding, followed by cutting a new thread. The internal threads are restored in the same way. Restoration of parts by surfacing consists in surfacing the worn working surfaces in such a way that they can be processed to the nominal or repair dimensions. When repairing cars, automatic and semi-automatic surfacing and welding under a layer of flux or in a carbon dioxide environment are used. Damaged and worn parts can be repaired by pressure. This method is based on the use of the ductility of metals. The parts are restored to their nominal dimensions with the help of special devices, by moving a part of the metal from non-working areas of the part to its worn surfaces. When restoring parts by pressure, not only their external shape changes, but also the structure and mechanical properties of the metal. Plastics are used to restore worn parts when repairing metal-cutting machines. As an adhesive, plastics are widely used for bonding broken parts, as well as for obtaining a fixed connection of parts made of metallic and non-metallic materials. When repairing metal-cutting machines, the most widely used plastics are textolite, wood laminated plastics and fast-hardening plastic — styracryl.
