Avanços nos testes tribológicos para maior durabilidade e eficiência de componentes agrícolas: uma revisão da literatura

Abstract

In the realm of agricultural machinery, the application of tribological tests has emerged to enhance the durability of machine components. This review synthesizes the findings of major articles published on the subject (from 1990 to data), focusing on the methodologies employed to evaluate wear resistance in agricultural machinery components. The study examines the impact of various factors, including material properties, surface treatments, operating conditions, and tribological testing methods. The most common tribological tests, such as pinon-disc and rubber wheel dry sand, are highlighted, along with the analysis of surface integrity and tool lifespan. The review emphasizes the importance of understanding the interaction between component design and tribological performance, especially in the context of interactions with abrasive soils. The findings reveal a growing trend in the use of new materials and surface treatments to mitigate wear. This study serves as a valuable resource for researchers and professionals seeking to advance the field of tribology in agricultural applications, guiding future investigations and addressing existing gaps in the literature.
