Improvement of the environmental safety of weaving equipment by reducing the wear of contact surfaces

Abstract

The purpose of the work is improvement of the environmental safety of weaving equipment by reducing the wear of contact surfaces. For the environment, minimizing the wear during the operation of weaving equipment is of great importance. Nevertheless, the physical-chemical interaction of metal surfaces with the environment in its individual sections is uneven due to its polycrystalline structure and heterogeneity. At the same time, the value of their residual stresses (microstresses), the degree of plastic deformation, etc., have a significant effect on the physical and chemical activity of separate surface grains. The article covers the causes of wear of the batten mechanism of a shuttleless loom because of friction. In order to ensure the environmental safety of weaving equipment, methods of increasing the wear resistance of the batten mechanisms of shuttleless looms have been proposed. The article substantiates that an effective method for improving the efficiency of the batten mechanisms of shuttleless looms can be the method of surface plastic deformation of the inner surface of the batten teeth shed. As a result, the uniformity of the physical-chemical interaction of metal surfaces with the environment is ensured, as the resistance to wear and fatigue failure increases.
