RESEARCH AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF STRESS-STRAIN STATE OF DISCRETE-CONTINUAL HARDENED MACHINE PARTS

Research and experimental studies of stress-strain state of discrete-continual hardened machine parts are presented in this work. This hardening method is distinguished by incorporation of numerous hard spots into the surface layer of one of the bodies. Meanwhile the other part is covered by a continuous corundum layer. Correspondingly, a network of microchannels for lubricant is formed between the bodies. Furthermore the contact loads are intensified in the vicinity of the harder material in the discrete zones. As a result the strength and durability of the loaded parts is increased. The technological parameters of the hardening process have great impact on the resulting characteristics. In particular, this concern the shape of the discrete hardening zones and the material properties of the corundum layer. These factors were varied in stress-strain analyses of the contacting bodies. The dependence of the stress-strain state characteristics on the varied parameters was established. The justified recommendations regarding the technological parameters of the discrete-continual hardening have been developed.
