Study of Wear Patterns of Kverneland Group Plowshares

The study considers the wear patterns of plowshares manufactured by Kverneland Group along their thickness and width after operation on loamy soils. It is established that wear variation along plowshare thickness is associated with high contact pressures and friction against the soil. Potential for restoration of plowshares with a residual thickness of 6.4–8.3 mm, with an optimized design, is demonstrated.
