Abstract
This paper presents a review of the corrosion effects on structural components of forestry machinery. The material presented is based on literary sources on the types of metal and alloy corrosion, its mechanisms, causes, consequences, and protection methods applied to forestry machinery. The purpose of this paper is to analyze and summarize the results of scientific research on the problem of corrosive destruction of structural components of forestry machinery, as well as to identify promising research areas for improving the protection of forestry machinery from corrosion. A classification of corrosion types is presented. The article examines the effects of gas, atmospheric, soil, and other types of corrosion on forestry machinery components, and provides examples of machine structural components susceptible to this phenomenon. Illustrations demonstrating corrosion processes obtained by the authors at enterprises in the forestry complex are presented. Based on the material presented in this paper, it is concluded that the problem of corrosion effects on the structure of forestry machinery is complex and requires a comprehensive approach ensuring corrosion protection at all stages of the equipment's life cycle. Existing scientific literature largely addresses corrosion protection during the operational phase of forestry equipment, particularly during off-season storage. Less attention is paid to addressing the issue during the design and engineering stages. The authors conclude by highlighting a number of promising research directions in this area.
