INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF HEAT TREATMENT ON RESIDUAL DEFORMATION CHIPPER KNIVES by A. V. Alifanov, V. N. Alekhnovitch, A. М. Milyukova, V. V. Tsuran

“…The magnitude of the deflection is greater the smaller the ratio of the thickness of the sample to its length and width. It is found that the samples made from steel 6HV2S have a deflection value smaller than the samples of steel grades and 9HF U8A.Repair any defects in the form of troughs manage curved by heating the samples to the tempering temperature and the subsequent exposure between steel plates in a hydraulic press under a load to cool the workpiece.Thus, as a result of the research found that the residual deformation-tion (trough) samples of knives from different grades (6HV2S, 9HF, U8A) has a different value, depending on the geometrical parameters of knives (length, thickness, width) and grades. …”
