Abstract:

Erosion of the metal of mining and metallurgical equipment due to the impact of solid particles is one of the forms of wear that can significantly limit the service life of a working machine or technological equipment, for example, a pipeline conveyor, loading and unloading bodies of mine workings and metallurgical machines. At present, this problem has been little studied and there is not enough information in the literature to form a systematic picture of impact erosion of equipment elements of mining and processing plants. The purpose of the research was to study the fatigue strength and corrosion-mechanical crack resistance of some structural elements of mining and metallurgical equipment with a long service life in chemically aggressive environments. Experimental tests for corrosion fatigue (long-term strength) were performed under bending load. The tests were performed on a bend with zero average voltage and a cycle frequency of 30 Hz. The tests were performed in salt solutions with a concentration of NaCl 5%. To compare the results, tests were sometimes performed in the air. The given data analysis shows that the long-term fatigue of the metal of mining and metallurgical equipment is significantly reduced when reaching 20 years of operation, especially in an aggressive environment containing chlorine ions, which causes severe corrosion damage to steel equipment. In addition, samples cut from metal with a long service life in mining and metallurgical conditions (more than 20 years) are characterized by low long-term strength. It has been found that fatigue resistance decreases with an increase in the number of cycles. Steel samples tested based on N = 106 and especially on the basis of N = 107 cycles have low resistance, which inevitably leads to breakdown with the subsequent destruction of equipment. It has been established that with an increase in the service life of the experimental mining and metallurgical equipment, the fracture toughness of the metal decreases significantly, which causes further failure and destruction of technological equipment.
