Aspects Regarding Repetitive Maintenance Concept in Push Blades for Loading Equipment

Abstract:

Preventive repeated maintenance concept provides elaborating, developing and reconditioning, repeatedly, in economic efficient conditions, of the pushing blades that equip bulk loading machines, namely leveling them. Applying the solution implies developing and elaborating active areas in direct contact with processed materials by loading through welding. To this end the base material of the blades is chosen to comply with the addition material afferent to the selected process, for predetermined circle tries, approx. 5 in the present moment.Research conducted to validate the loading through welding technology had primary objectives to obtain material couples base/addition that have a high resistance to intense bending demands, under load, combined with a good abrasion usage resistance or high pressure. The chemical composition of the basic materials in the pushing blades, is afferent to high resistance steels, with a maximum of1.6%Mn, max. 1.5%Cr, max.2%Ni, max. 0.7%Mo and max. 0.005%B. The chemical composition of the deposited material, through welding, falls into steel prescription, type Fe-25%Cr-5%W-Nb-Ti-B, with metallographic structures that have a high content of complex carbides and hardness of minimum 60 HRC. Sclerometric tried and metallographic research of specific area of the deposited metal/base metal ensemble did not highlight any imperfections such as cracks or white sports in the thermal influenced areas.Research regarding exploitation behaviour, of basaltic aggregates in loading conditions or cereals, have shown a good resistance at wear.
