Steel

Steel, particularly carbon steel and alloy steel, plays a key role in agricultural machinery for producing high-strength components such as gears, shafts, and connecting rods. Steel provides excellent strength, toughness, and wear resistance during forging, making it ideal for parts exposed to heavy loads, high impact, and friction. The superior mechanical properties of steel make it a crucial material for critical parts in the powertrain, transmission, and drive systems, enhancing durability and performance.

Aluminum Alloy

Aluminum alloys are used in agricultural machinery to manufacture lightweight parts such as frames, housings, and various attachments. Aluminum alloys offer low density and excellent corrosion resistance, making them ideal for components that need to be lightweight while still providing sufficient strength. These alloys also provide good casting performance and can be used to produce complex shapes. By reducing the overall weight of the machinery, aluminum contributes to fuel efficiency and ease of operation.

Other Metal Alloys

In specialized applications, other alloys are used in agricultural machinery for their unique properties, such as high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, or superior strength. For example, magnesium alloys and titanium alloys are used for lightweight, high-strength parts, particularly in advanced agricultural equipment like high-performance tractors and harvesters. These alloys offer excellent mechanical properties and resistance to environmental corrosion, but they tend to be more expensive than traditional materials.
