APPLICATION OF HIGH-STRENGTH MATERIALS IN THE MANUFACTURING OF AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY

Abstract

 This article analyzes the features of operating agricultural machinery to improve its reliability and durability. The relevance of the study is driven by the need to enhance the performance characteristics of agricultural machines under conditions of intensive use and increased demands for their efficiency. The purpose of the study is to develop solutions aimed at integrating high-strength materials, lightweight structures, and modern anti-corrosion coatings to optimize the performance of agricultural machinery. The scientific significance lies in studying the prospects of applying innovative technologies such as nanocoatings, self-healing, and biodegradable materials that contribute to extending the service life of machinery and reducing operational costs. The practical significance is reflected in the possibility of implementing the proposed solutions by agricultural machinery manufacturers, leading to increased competitiveness and sustainability. The research methodology includes material analysis, experimental testing of structures, and an assessment of the environmental impacts of applying new technologies. The main results demonstrate a significant improvement in the performance characteristics of agricultural machinery, confirming that the integration of advanced materials and technologies contributes to increased efficiency, environmental sustainability, and economic profitability in agricultural production. The value of the research lies in providing scientifically grounded recommendations for the sustainable development of the agricultural sector and minimizing its negative impact on the environment.
