Abstract


Effects of carbon steel with different proportions of magnesium were studied through mechanical properties for escavator bucket teeth applications. In this study, micron-sized magnesium particles were used as reinforcement to fabricate the carbon steel - Mg composites at two casting temperatures (650 and 830 °C) and stirring periods (3 and 6 min). In this regard, escavator bucket teeth are replaced by Magnesium based carbon steel material and it also describes the modeling and analysis of escavator bucket teeth. Tensile strength, bending strength and hardness of Caron steel with magnesium was improved in all proportions when compared to virgin carbon steel and existing chromium steel. These results indicated that, failure can be minimize by improving bucket tooth with fabrication of carbon steel and Magnesium alloy for more efficient digging and ground leveling. The project concludes that, usage of carbon steel-magnesium composites in the place of Excavator teeth; it can achieve reliability with less weight and high strength.
