Influence of different hard-facing procedures on quality of surfaces of regenerated gears

Abstract

During the process of regeneration of machine parts, certain phenomena occur that have a significant impact on the loss of their working ability. Hereditary properties are expressed by the interdependence of geometric and physical-mechanical-metallurgical parameters of gear teeth created during the technological operations of regeneration of worn teeth by hard-facing. The influence of the type of additional material (electrodes and their combinations) on the tribological characteristics of welded gear teeth was considered, whereby the so-called hard additional materials were applied. Those are the additional materials that give the required surface hardness of the teeth without subsequent thermal or thermochemical treatment. This research did not involve the regeneration of specific worn gears removed from machine systems, but the new gears were made, which were then damaged and then regenerated by hard-facing using the shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) procedure. Thus, all the tested gears were made of the same material, belonged to one batch and were machined on the same machines with the same machining regimes. The tests were performed on samples made of 20MnCr5 steel for cementation, on a tribometer by the “block on disc” method, which was designed to simulate the operating conditions of coupled teeth of concrete gears in the exploitation conditions. Based on the conducted tribological tests, the average coefficients of friction and topography of the surfaces were determined by measuring the wear trace and it was defined which additional materials give the best tribological characteristics of the surfaces of gears regenerated by hard-facing.

Demir Esaslı Sert Dolgu Kaplamaların Karakterizasyonu ve Kırılma Tokluğunun İncelenmesi

“…Parçacıkların boyutu, malzemelerin aşınma direnci üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahiptir (Coronado et al 2009). Sert kaplama için, korumalı metal ark kaynağı (Nikolić et al 2021), özlü ark kaynağı (Cardoso et al 2022), toz altı kaynağı (Patel, Wanare, and Kalyankar 2021), gazaltı kaynağı (Kravchenko, Kartsev, and Kuznetsov 2021), toz püskürtme (Patel et al 2021), Yüksek Hızda Oksi Yakıt Püskürtme (HVOF) (Aoudia et al 2020), plazma transferli ark (Srimath and Sathyabalan 2020), elektrik ark (Singh et al 2022), tungsten soy gaz kaynağı (TIG) (Krzysztof et al 2019) gibi çeşitli kaynak yöntemleri kullanılır. Sert kaplamalarda dolgu malzemesi olarak masif ve/veya özlü tellerin kullanımı endüstriyel uygulamalarda sıklıkla karşılaşılan bir yöntemdir.…”
