METHOLOGY BSCEQ IN THE SELECTION OF MATERIALS OPTIMIZATION OF WEAR CROWNS OF A DRILLING INDUSTRY

Abstract

Nowadays companies look for increasing the performance of components and equipments. One influential factor of that performance is their wear. Therefore, the aim of this study is to demonstrate the suitability of Balanced Scorecard from Quality Engineering (BSCQE) to optimize the wear of the crowns used for rock drilling. The methodology consists on bibliography search, field research, brainstorming, optical microscopy, statistic analysis and wear tests simulating abrasion conditions. The statistic analysis with which perform ball abrasive wear tests particularly using the DOE (factorial 2k) allows to built a prototype. It is concluded that the planning done based on the methodology BSCEQ improved materials selection
