Improving the Stability of Wood-Cutting Saws by Thermoplastic Action on the Distribution of Residual Stresses in the Blade

Journal Title: Lesnoy Zhurnal (Russian Forestry Journal) - Year 2020, Vol 10, Issue 6

Abstract

The saw stability in operation defines the ability of the saw blade to resist the forces acting on it in the plane of greatest rigidity. The saw can work reliably only in case of maintaining stable balance, which is achieved through the creation of normalized residual stresses in certain zones of the saw blade by different methods. The stresses balance the forces of external influences. Compressive stresses are created in the central part of the blade to make the circular saw operational. These stresses compensate the forces of centrifugal acceleration, temperature heating of individual zones of the saw blade, external longitudinal and transverse bending forces arising in material processing. In practice, the creation of normalized stresses in the saw disk is traditionally carried out only by local mechanical contact action (forging, rolling) of the saw blade tool on the steel saw blade. It is proposed to form the stressed state of the disk by thermophysical action instead of the traditional mechanical processing of the saw blade. The thermophysical action involves the creation of normalized residual stresses in the saw blade by the concentrated thermal exposure to local differently directed narrow-band zones of straight or deflected shape, mainly radial or along concentric traces, controlling the process in real time. A new approach to the formation of residual stress fields in the saw blade by thermoplastic action enables to radically change the settingup procedure of the circular saw, ensuring its stability in operation.
