Analysis of Mf241Di clutch plate with different material (30Cr13 steel and En15steel)

Abstract

Clutch plates are usually made of cast iron and high carbon steels. The properties of cast iron have high compressive strength, low tensile strength and no ductility. Due to this reason, it is suitable for the clutch plate but its cost is high. In order to reduce the cost of clutch plate material without affecting the life and effectiveness of the clutch plate, we modify other material for clutch plate. Hence, we selected the clutch plate from MF241DI tractor. The material which is used in this pressure plate is grey cast iron (FG300). We analyzed this material to obtain the stress in the pressure plate. After obtaining the values, we use different materials but with suitable properties to obtain a better stress and functions of pressure plate. Hence, we use steel (30Cr13) and steel En15 as optional material to grey cast iron. These materials also have similar properties of grey cast iron. Then, we compare the stress values of all materials and take out the best.
