- Enhanced reconditioning of heavy-duty pulp industry equipment: Advantages of abrasive waterjet cuttingPublication . Ramalho, Armando Lopes; Silva, Agostinho da; Gaspar, Marcelo Calvete; Capela, Carlos; Celorrio-Barragué, Luis; Glăvan, Dan OvidiuWithin a pulp industry production process, a drop in the performance of a wood log rotary debarker was identified. Such loss of performance was due to the occurrence of excessive wear of the device's cutting blades, requiring their regular and premature replacement. The material used to manufacture the cutting blades, Hardox 500, has characteristics considered adequate for the required use. However, it was concluded that the blade manufacturing process degraded its mechanical properties, leading to its premature wear when placed in service. The present study intends to propose, characterize, and validate an alternative cutting process to manufacture the debarker's cutting blades. Abrasive waterjet cutting technology was proposed to produce the cutting blades. The suitability of this manufacturing process is discussed considering the specified geometry and the material characteristics of the resulting cutting blades.
