Abstract. 

The key issue of the article is a study of ways for improving reliability of the mining equipment by removing the stresses from the welded joins, which are the weakest areas in the welded structures of the mining equipment. Many researchers have found that quality of a welded join is mainly affected by its stressed state. The objective of the work was to study an impact of vibromechanical treatment on mechanical properties of and redistribution of residual stresses in the welded joints of the mining technical equipment made of structural steel. To solve the assigned task the experiments were performed in order to investigate the welded joints made by: HFC welding (high-frequency currents); and electric-arc welding with and without vibration during the welding operations. Stress concentration in the welded joints were measured by method of metal magnetic memory which showed dependences between the stress changes along the entire length of the test sample and the three types of welding: HFC welding, electric arc welding and electric arc welding with vibration. The obtained dependencies showed that stress in the welded joint was the lowest at welding with vibration. In two other cases, stress was, on average, twice higher at high frequency welding and 4 times higher at electric arc welding. Thin sections of the seam surfaces of the above mentioned types of welding joints were investigated, and 3D models of the joint surfaces were created. Results of the research of reducing the residual stresses in the welded joints have given the grounds to recommend the vibromechanical treatment for improving quality and reliability of the mining machines. Thanks to the vibromechanical treatment, residual stresses in the area of the welded seam reduces by 2-4 times, and number of different irregularities in the seam structure, which are the sites of the weld failure leading to premature failure of the mining equipment, essentially reduces.
