THE USE OF NON-CONVENTIONAL TECHNOLOGIES IN IMPROVING THE LIFE OF AIR WHEELS PRESENT LT

Abstract

This paper presents a proposal to increase the life of the air wheel refurbishment and wheel drum aviation technology using thermal plasma spraying. As the aircraft wheels during operation subject to extreme stress is necessary to ensure their proper operation and adequate maintenance. In many cases, the wheel wear occurs to the formation of cracks in the drum wheel, which prevent its further operation and use. Thus, the wheel must be discarded and replaced. This effect is uneconomical and it is better to use a method of increasing life by means of thermal spraying because, first, prolonging service life of the wheel and also will save the cost of buying new wheels.
