High-speed wear tests on mower blade from various manufactures using the wear pot method

Abstract: Rotary mowers are often used for forage harvesting in agriculture, as this technology can achieve a high throughput. These knives are therefore exposed to high levels of wear and tear, and will also be often changed because of loss of material by bad cutting quality. That is why it is interesting to save costs during manufacturing in spite of a correspondingly long service life. This research records the current manufacturing quality of the mower blades and examines how they behave in comparison. Based on the obtained results, further decisions on the methods, procedures and ways of extending the life of the disc mower blades should be proposed. For the investigations, a test bench based on a wear pot was used. The wear that occurs on the blade is determined using several parameters and compared accordingly. The parameters of the test setup determined as a result of the test can be used for further studies of wear resistance. https://www.agricultural-engineering.eu/landtechnik/article/view/3311
