Combined processing of metal surfaces in agriculture with concentrated energy flows

Abstract

Modern agritech technologies are complexes of technological operations for managing the production processes of agricultural crops in agrocenoses in order to achieve the planned yield and product quality while ensuring environmental safety and certain economic efficiency. An analysis of the development of agroengineering technologies for the impact of concentrated and highly concentrated energy flows on the surface of materials shows that progress in the use of flame, induction, laser, plasma and other types of energy flows has reached its limit. The technological impasse in agriculture well illustrates the axiom that it is impossible to create universal methods and tools capable of providing exponential development over significant periods of time. Quantitative and qualitative limitations in the use of each individual technology in agriculture stimulate the search for new agricultural solutions. A multiple increase in productivity, the acquisition of competitive advantages, a significant improvement in the quality of the treated surface and obtaining unique, in many respects, properties of materials in agriculture can be achieved due to the synergistic effect when using hybrid technologies. Their efficiency is ensured by saving processing time without loss of quality. The reduction of time costs occurs due to a significant reduction in the number of auxiliary operations or their complete elimination.
