SUBSTITUTION OF PRODUCING EAT-RESISTANT STEEL FROM SECONDARY RAW MATERIALS (USED IN THE EXAMPLE OF EXCAVATOR SHOE)
Keywords:
wear-resistant steel, secondary raw materials, alloying, excavator bucket, abrasion, metallurgy, recycling, economic efficiency, ecology, hardness, strength, microstructure, martensite, austenite, carbon, manganese, chromium, heat treatment, resource saving, industrial wasteAbstract
This article discusses the scientific and technological foundations for obtaining wear-resistant steel from secondary raw materials. Particular attention is paid to the optimization of the chemical composition of steel for excavator buckets operating in conditions of intense abrasive wear. The economic and environmental advantages of using secondary metal resources are substantiated. Experimental studies have shown that the correct selection of alloying elements allows you to form a structure with high wear resistance. The use of this approach helps to reduce energy costs, reduce waste and improve product quality. The results obtained can be effectively used in mechanical engineering and the mining industry to increase the service life of equipment.
