INCREASING THE PERIOD OF RESISTANCE OF KNIVES OF PROFILERS OF MILLING AND BRUSHING MACHINES
This article presents the results of the influence of changes in the temperature of ion-plasma nitrid-ing on the period of stability of the knives of profilers of milling machines. Milling is a process of cutting with rotating cutters, in which the cutting path is a cycloid. The technological purpose of milling is mainly to form the surfaces of parts in a consistent manner. The study of the process of forming technological chips and saw products when processing wood on such machines makes the process less labor-intensive and energy-consuming. The quality of preparation and sharpening of the cutting tool has a significant impact on the energy consumption of the process of aggregate wood processing. One of the ways to increase the useful yield of lumber when processing on milling and milling machines is the use of technology for profiling lumber. Profiling is the most economical way to produce lumber. Profiling technology allows you to get edged main and side products in one pass. Milling and profiling technology allows you to ensure the productivity of the milling and paving line and increase the useful output of saw products. The nitriding process as an effective method of improving the performance properties of products made of various types of structural and tool steels is actively implemented in modern production. Due to its unique capabilities, nitriding is considered as an alternative method of cementation and carboni-trization.
