What are the wear phenomena of hydraulic metal balers?

Hydraulic metal balers will experience various wear phenomena during long-term high-pressure work. These wear and tear not only affect the normal operation of the machine, but also shorten the service life of the equipment. The following are several common wear phenomena of hydraulic metal balers:
1. Mechanical wear: Due to direct contact and relative motion between metals, surface materials are gradually worn away. This kind of wear usually occurs on gears, bearings, pistons and other components.
2. Fatigue wear: Under long-term cyclic loading, tiny cracks occur on the surface or inside the material and gradually expand, eventually causing the material to break and fall off. Components such as the hydraulic cylinder and beam of the baler that are subject to cyclic loads are prone to fatigue wear.
3. Corrosion wear: Under the action of corrosive media (such as acid, alkali, salt, etc.), metal materials undergo chemical reactions, resulting in surface material loss. Corrosive wear is a common problem for balers that frequently handle wet or corrosive metal scrap.
4. Impact wear: peeling or plastic deformation of the material surface caused by sudden impact load. During the operation of the baler, impact wear may occur due to improper operation or abnormal materials (such as foreign objects with excessive hardness).

To reduce wear and tear on a hydraulic metal baler, regular maintenance and upkeep is required, including lubricating key components, replacing damaged components, cleaning and filtering hydraulic oil, and using appropriate materials and methods to handle different types of scrap metal. Through effective management and preventive measures, the service life of the baler can be extended and its efficient and stable working performance can be maintained.
