CORROSION OF THE WORKING PART OF MINING EXCAVATORS

This article analyzes the corrosion processes occurring in the working parts of mining excavators and their causes. Mechanical wear, abrasive wear and corrosion processes are studied on the example of excavator tracks, coatings and cutting tools. The study investigated the influence of steel composition, alloying elements, operating conditions and maintenance parameters on corrosion. The results provide recommendations for extending the service life of working parts and increasing technical efficiency. The article is of current importance for the fields of mining equipment, metallurgy and mechanical engineering.
