Resistance Assessment of Materials to Abrasive Wear

This paper deals with the evaluation of the resistance of weld deposit materials to abrasive wear. Abrasive wear is one of the degradation processes of metallic materials. Intensive manifestation of abrasive wear is on the tools of agricultural machinery working in soil conditions (e.g. plow tine, etc.). We determined the relative resistance to wear on the basis of a tribological test defined by the standard ČSN 01 5084. For selected additional materials, we state the suitability of their use in conditions where abrasive wear prevails. By creating weld deposit on the working parts of the machines, it is possible to reduce wear and thus extend the technical life of the machines.
