The efficiency of agricultural activities is significantly influenced by the condition of the power and work machinery used in agricultural production. Creating and maintaining the proper soil conditions play a crucial role in achieving the desired crop yield. Soil cultivation tools are subjected to substantial stress during agricultural operations, which can lead to significant wear and tear. Therefore, it is essential to research technologies that can improve the durability of surfaces in contact with the soil. Our goal was to replace worn-out cultivator tines with longer-lasting plowshares. During our research, we developed and applied various heat treatment procedures and conducted hot metal spraying on the plowshares. Some of the plowshares were re-melted using flame, while others were re-melted using lasers. The workpieces we produced will be used in agricultural production in the future, allowing us to determine which heat treatment or surface treatment technology is most suitable. Since a cultivator is equipped with multiple cultivator tines, using plowshares made with the right surface treatment technology can significantly reduce costs and enhance the cultivation of larger areas. Based on the examinations conducted so far, it is foreseeable that the application of nickel alloy metal powders and subsequent re-melting shows promising results.

摘要

The efficiency of agricultural activities is significantly influenced by the condition of the power and work machinery used in agricultural production. Creating and maintaining the proper soil conditions play a crucial role in achieving the desired crop yield. Soil cultivation tools are subjected to substantial stress during agricultural operations, which can lead to significant wear and tear. Therefore, it is essential to research technologies that can improve the durability of surfaces in contact with the soil. Our goal was to replace worn-out cultivator tines with longer-lasting plowshares. During our research, we developed and applied various heat treatment procedures and conducted hot metal spraying on the plowshares. Some of the plowshares were re-melted using flame, while others were re-melted using lasers. The workpieces we produced will be used in agricultural production in the future, allowing us to determine which heat treatment or surface treatment technology is most suitable. Since a cultivator is equipped with multiple cultivator tines, using plowshares made with the right surface treatment technology can significantly reduce costs and enhance the cultivation of larger areas. Based on the examinations conducted so far, it is foreseeable that the application of nickel alloy metal powders and subsequent re-melting shows promising results.
