Determination of the Wear Resistance of 5630 Steel Cultivator Tine Coated with Titanium and Nickel

Soil tillage tools change their shape by wearing down due to various reasons both in the field and out of the field. As a result, the energy requirement increases, the worn part cannot perform its functions, and the operating success decreases. Time losses also show permanent risks in relation to production. Another negativity is that the worn steel parts are released into soil. As a solution to these problems, it does not affect the use of Titanyum and Nickel plating in this thesis. For this purpose, the shares of the cultivator with 5630 Steel loads were coated with Titanium and Nickel and tested in different terrain areas. The etching process was carried out using the etching test setup under the conditions of the end iron laboratories covered with the electrochemical deposition system. Then microstructure coating was done. Hardness, amount of aging, wear values were determined and coated and uncoated end irons were compared. In tests, when the hardness of 5630 Steel reaches 79.7 (HRB) before coating, it turns out to be 81.6 HRB when Nickel plated and 82.7 HRB when Titanium is plated. In the abrasion growth test, the maximum was 1.33-2.02-3.05 before coating, respectively, under 5-10-15 N load. 1.19-1.73-2.9% when nickel plated, 1.17%- 1.68-2.55% when Titanium coated.
