Finite Element Analysis of Diamond Saw Blades to Prevent Steel Base Wear

The FEM analysis of stress and deformation of steel base of the special diamond saw blades are carried out.The small carbide round segments are welded on the side of blades in order to increase the side wear re sistance of blade.Comparing with conventional saw blade,the maximum stress val ues of reasonable special saw blade are reduced respectively about 17%20% 33%,and the maximum deformation values are reduced respectively about 26%22 %44.7%in thetangential(X),radial(Y)and axial(Z)direction.The stress conce ntration zone is decreased for the special structure diamond saw blade.The stru ctures of diamond saw blade with different number of hard material pellet are an alyzed and optimized.

Cutting performance of saw blades with microtextured rougher and finisher sawteeth

The problems of severe sawtooth wear,harsh sawing noise,and low surface quality during the processing of circular saw blades need to be solved.To improve the cutting performance of TiC-based cermet saw blades,microtextures parallel to the cutting edge were fabricated on rough and fine sawteeth by laser machining.The cutting tests were performed on a sawing platform under lubricated conditions.Models of the sawing arc length and working sawtooth cutting force variations were developed for sawing steel pipes,and the accuracy of the sawing force model was verified experimentally.The results indicate that the variations in the sawing force are proportional to the sawing arc length.The circular saw blades with microtextures that did not penetrate the sawtooth rake face exhibited the lowest cutting force,sawing noise,and highest machined surface quality.Furthermore,the worn-out distance of the rougher and finisher sawteeth was reduced by approximately 7.4%and 44.1%,respectively,compared with conventional circular saw blades.The main failure modes of sawteeth were tip wear,rake face adhesion,and oxidative wear.In addition,the mechanism by which the textures improve the cutting and wear properties of TiC-based circular saw blades was discussed.This study provided a significant concept for enhancing the cutting performance of circular saw blades and improving the machined surface quality.

Research of the Issue of Lightening the Construction of the Gin Saw Cylinder

The article investigates the problem of lightening the construction of the saw cylinder of the gin by drilling a central longitudinal through hole on the shaft and cutting circular holes on the saw blades. This is accompanied by a relatively large decrease in the mass of the saw cylinder and a relatively smaller decrease in the axial moment of inertia of the cross-sectional area of the shaft, which provides the maximum deflection of the saw cylinder under the action of its own gravity in the middle of the span is from 0.450 mm to 0.406 mm.

Design of Bionic Saw Blade for Corn Stalk Cutting

The serrated incisors of grasshopper [Chondracris rosea rosea （De Geer）] possess an advantageous capacity for cutting plant fiber. Inspired by this special geometrical structure of incisors, bionic saw blade was designed and manufactured. MATLAB software digital image processing technology was used to obtain outer margin profile from stereomicroscope pho- tograph of the serrated incisors. The outer margin profile of incisors was fitted and expressed by six-order polynomial function. To compare the cutting capacity of bionic and traditional saw blades, the internodes of dry corn stalks were cut perpendicularly. Cutting force-deformation characteristics were obtained by universal testing machine. The results of cutting experiments show that the maximum cutting force of bionic saw blade was 128.26 N, which is 15.87% lower than 152.45 N of traditional saw blade; the average cutting force of bionic saw blade was 51.56 N, which is 28.17% less than 71.78 N of traditional saw blade. Meanwhile, the cutting energy consumption of bionic saw blade was 8.95 J, which is 12.85% less than 10.27 J of traditional saw blade. Overall, the bionic saw blade can lead to noticeable reduction of the cutting force and energy. These results will be helpful for designing cutting elements of corn stalk harvesting, biomass size reduction and other processing machinery.
