Theoretical aspects on the abrasive wear of farming tools

Abstract

The damages suffered by the farming tools have a negative influence on the productive process and they represent considerable economic losses for any enterprise. That is the reason for which this paper presents the outcomes of an updated bibliographical revision related to the abrasive wear of farming tools; which is compared with the results of the experiments carried out by Sánchez Iznaga (2015) in regard to this kind of wear within his doctoral research and in the Cuban context. The research approaches those aspects related to the type of soils where the abrasive wear of farming tools occurs frequently, the main causes of this wear occurrence, the equipment used to determine the damages which it causes, and the most useful methods in simulating it; as well as the conclusions achieved by Sánchez Iznaga (2015) of every aspect mentioned earlier in the Cuban context and taking into account the results obtained in his experiments.
