Definitions
- This invention relates to a method of increasing the wear resistance of a horse shoe and to a horse shoe manufactured according to the new method.
- the horses are provided with horse shoes which for reasons of weight are made of a light, metallic material like for instance aluminium.
- These aluminium shoes have a very low wear resistance and therefore the horse shoes have to be exchanged with often recurrent intervals, which have resulted in that the expences for the horse shoe exchanges have been considerable.
- the intention with this invention is to offer a horse shoe of a light, metallic material, for instance aluminium, at least portions of the wearing surface of the horse shoe having been provided with a hard and wear resistant wearing layer.
- the horse shoe according to the invention maintains substantially the same balance and form during the period of use, the horse can train and compete under consequent conditions. This fact together with a reduced risk of hoof damages and other damages increase the efficiency of the horse in training as well as in races.
- FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a horse shoe according to the invention
- Fig. 2 shows a cross section along the line II-II of Fig. 1
- Fig. 3 shows a second embodiment of the invention
- Fig. 4 shows a cross section along the line III-III of Fig. 3.
- a horse shoe 1 having a U-like cross section. That means that the horse shoe has an inner projection 2 and an outer projection 3 extending continuously over the hole horse shoe.
- the projections 2, 3 form between themselves a bowl-shaped space 4 which can take up the head of not shown nails used for fastening the shoe onto the hooves of the horse.
- the horse shoe is provided with holes 5 for the nails. Owing to this space 4 there will be no wear between the head of the nail and the bed on which the horse moves.
- the horse shoe is made of aluminium or another light metal. These materials are very light and well suited to be used for horses within the trotting sport. The materials, however, have a very low length of life.
- the new and special thing with this invention is that wearing is that the wearing surface of the horse shoe, that is the part of the horse shoe that is intended to be in contact with the ground, has been made hard and wear resistant by means of carbides of for instance titanium, chromium, nickel and/or wolfram. In this connection only certain portions 6 of the wearing surface are provided with the hard wearing layer. These portions 6 are preferably located farthest at the front of the horse shoe and at the rear portion of each leg of the horse shoe. It is, of course, possible to provide the whole wearing surface of the horse shoe with the hard and wear resistant wearing layer, but since that is not neccessary, it is for reasons of expence the most suitable only to coat certain portion of the wearing surface.
- the hard and wear resistant wearing layer is formed by means of laser.
- the surface layer of the basic material of the horse shoe, that is the aluminium is locally melted by means of the laser at the same time as a material comprising hard carbide particles of for instance titanium, chromium, nickel and/or wolfram are added to and distributed into the melt.
- An essential advantage with this method is the lack of a transition zone or a binding zone between the basic material and the surface layer. Such a zone can be a detail of weakness and result in that the surface layer may come loose when the detail is exposed to strains.
- the basic material continuously extends right out to the surface and therefore gives a good strength of the surface layer.
- a second embodiment having a different design in relation to the first one.
- the legs 7, 8 of the horse shoe are connected by means of a bridge 9 which has a projection 10 extending rearwards. This projection 10 functions as a support for the rear portion of the horse hoof.
- Fig. 4 there is shown a cross section of a leg of the horse shoe, having a rectangular form. Furthermore, the horse shoe has holes 11 for those nails by which the horse shoe is fastened to the hooves of the horse.
- this horse shoe is suitable made of aluminium and has like the former one a hard and wear resistant wearing layer on its underside, that is the side that is to be in contact with the ground.
- This wearing layer is made of the same material and in the same way as has been described previously for the first embodiment.
- the wearing layer is also in this case suitably located only to certain portions 12 of the horse shoe where the wear is the greatest. These portions 12, in similarity with what has been shown in the first embodiment, are located farthest at the front of the horse shoe and at the rear portion of each leg.
- the projection 10 is provided with a wearing layer at its outer edge on each side of the longitudinal centre line of the horse shoe. It has also appeared that the wear resistance of a horse shoe can be considerably increased if a horse shoe of aluminium is coated with a hard material like for instance aluminium oxide and/or carbides which material is harder than the basic material. Neither in this case it is necessary to coat the whole wearing surface of the horse shoe with aluminium oxide but it is sufficient only to coat the front portion of the horse shoe and the rear portion of the legs where the wear is the greatest. In the specification two different embodiments of the horse shoe have been described. The invention idea is, of course, applicable on other embodiments of horse shoes, for instance horse shoes having semi-circular cross section.
