Increasing the Quality of the Side Surfaces of the Teeth of Saw Cylinder Discs Using Abrasive Blast Treatment

Abstract

The article presents materials on the effective use of abrasive blasting of the side surfaces of the teeth of saw blades in order to activate them during lightering. The scraping action and cutting of short fibers from seeds is enhanced by microroughnesses of the formed micro profile after impact interaction of an abrasive particle with a metal surface. Using atomic force microscopy, we obtained the height and step parameters of the roughness of the machined tooth surface, which are compared with the transverse dimensions of the cotton fibers, and thus a model for the intensification of the littering process is proposed.

It is shown that when modeling a single interaction of an abrasive particle with the surface of a part in the process of collision under air (liquid) pressure, it is necessary to take into account the specifics of impact-abrasive wear, when the separation of a wear particle is preceded by metal destruction. In the process of schematization of the contact interaction during abrasive blasting, some commonality with the shot blasting process and a number of assumptions typical for grinding, when micro cutting with a single abrasive grain is considered, are taken into account.

Abrasive blasting of the side surfaces of saw blade teeth with a cotton-processing machine particle made of black silicon carbide is proposed. The achieved required processing quality makes it possible to achieve microrelief on the treated surface.
