EFFECT OF WIRE MATERIAL PROPERTIES ON WIRE ROPE USE
Journal Title: Journal of Machine Construction and Maintenance - Year 2018, Vol 111, Issue 4
Abstract
Steel ropes cannot be refurbished through repairs, and wear processes during their use are cumulative. These processes include material fatigue, aging of the core, grease, and elements made of plastics, mass losses due to friction and corrosion, structural deformation, and changes in geometry. They are designed to perform specific functions under specific conditions. When the wear level is reached that significantly affects the safety of the operation of the equipment and of the operators, the specific elements of the equipment are replaced.The objective of the paper is to present the results of material tests on steel rope strands operated in the design systems of the basic machines used in surface mining. The presentation is focused on the ropes used in bucket wheel excavators (BWEs). These are the basic machines in surface mines and their proper operation is highly important in ensuring continuity of mining.The authors present the results of material tests on the basis of which the conclusions were drawn about the quality of the production of steel wires that affect the rope use process.
