The use of clay in engineering and repair production

The results of a study of the use of clay powders to increase the durability of restoration coatings of the working bodies of tillage machines - cultivating paws are presented. It has been established that clay powder as a modifier changes the structure of the deposited coating and its microhardness. The average microhardness of the coatings increases to 30% compared to the starting metal and by 20% compared to the deposited without modification. A technology is proposed for preparing clay for use as a modifier, as well as a method for introducing it into a liquid bath.
