In this study, the fracture of piston for rock drill produced from case hardening steel is investigated. In order to study the causes of the fracture, specimens prepared from the damaged pistons were subject.
[pdf] Heat treatment for rock drilling tools typically involves processes such as annealing, normalizing, quenching, and tempering. These techniques greatly enhance the tool’s hardness, wear resistance, strength, and toughness, ensuring optimal performance even in demanding working conditions.
[pdf] Surface drilling rigs are hydraulic drill rigs typically designed for small to medium-scale quarries and small-sized open pit mines, suitable for rock drilling applications where rock hardness exceeds F10 in aggregate quarrying, civil engineering, road construction, open pit mining, hydropower plant construction and other blasthole drilling projects.
