New life of parts
The article shows that contact welding of steel wires is an effective way to restore worn parts. The scope of application of the reconditioning method and possible schemes of the welding are given here. The filler material in the form of wires doesn't need prior preparation or cutting. The authors give recommendations on choosing of the technological equipment for reconditioning of worn cylindrical surfaces of parts and the choice of filler wires, selection of rational modes of welding, monitoring, subsequent mechanical operation. The possible prospects of further increasing of agricultural machinery parts reconditioning efficiency are also given.
