Research on the impact of process innovation on lifespan of forestry machinery tools and components

Project is focused on research on the impact of process innovation on lifespan of forest machines tools and components. In order to find stress-strain state of tools and components it will be performed FEM analysis. Further, it will be performed state material analysis of specimens to examine their physical and mechanical properties, microstructure characteristic and resistance to abrasive wear. Based on the results of aforementioned analyzes it will be proposed and applied innovative methods of production technology and surface treatments procedures. Based on the results of comparison, it will be carried out selection of optimal innovative procedures. Selected procedures will be applied and tested in the operating conditions of forestry.
