Improvement of total running time and wear resistance of tillage tools

Abstract

On the basis of a system analysis of methods of total running time and wear resistance improvement of tillage tools it has been found that in 90% of cases their improvement is achieved by technological methods. In its turn, it requires the use of expensive hardening materials that results in production cost increase of final output. The solution to a problem cannot be based on using one group of methods, it requires a complex approach when using a range of available groups of methods. Correspondingly, the purpose of the research is to identify experimentally some feasible methods of total running time and wear resistance improvement of tillage tools with due regards to soil and climatic conditions of their operation. On the basis of soil and climatic conditions of tillage tools operation, the research identifies experimentally some operational, constructional and technological methods of wear resistance improvement of share and disk tools. The research results have been introduced at the agrarian enterprises of Zhytomyr oblast.
