Abstract

Causes of damage occurrence in vital components of welded structures of the bucket-wheel excavator boom (DU1) at the coal landfill of the thermal power plant 'Nikola Tesla A' in Obrenovac (Serbia) are investigated. Bucket-wheel excavator was produced by French company 'Ameco' and it moves along the circular track. Taking into account lack of technical documentation, all tests and were carried out under the assumption that welded structures were made of structural steels S355 and S235. Investigation of causes of damage occurrence are based on results of non-destructive tests (NDT) and tensometric measurements.
