USING THE IDEAS DIAGRAM METHOD TO DESIGN ABRASIVE WEAR TESTING EQUIPMENT

The manufacture of concrete pavers may require the use of molds whose active elements are subject to abrasion wear. For this reason, the active elements are made of steels characterized by high wear resistance. The need to test the wear resistance of these steels required the design of equipment that would simulate, at least partially, the working conditions of the punches and active plates used in the manufacture of pavers. To identify an equipment solution that would meet the initial requirements, the ideas diagram method was used. The application of this method led to the obtaining of information on possible solutions for the desired equipment. By using certain evaluation criteria and an overall assessment, it was possible to gradually outline a solution for the equipment intended to allow tests to be carried out to determine the wear resistance of cylindrical steel specimensReferences
