3. Preamble to the description: The following specification particularly describes the invention.

FIELD
The present disclosure relates to the field of refining equipment. More particularly, the present invention relates to paper pulp refining equipment.
BACKGROUND
Refining the fiber from the pulp or slurry is a vital process that has to be performed in the paper and pulp industry. Said refining acts as the “backbone” unit process during said paper-making process, wherein the repeated cycles of shear and compressive forces are applied or beating of pulp fibers is performed in an equipment called refiner, which is enabled by the use of rotor and stator configuration with the help of bars and grooves. Further, said bars and grooves as required for said refining operation process can be mounted or created on the surface of refining discs or plate segments in order to define the refining elements of said discs or segments. Said juncture of said bars and said surface of refining disc and/or plate articulated in order to configure said bars with said surface of refining disc and/or plate can be crucial in order perform the intended function of refining of pulp. Said juncture of said bars and the surface of said disc can be more critical in the case of fine or micro bar type segments. wherein said fine bar or micro bars can be very small in thickness which includes but not limited up to 0.5 mm in order to increase the number of said bars which leads to an increase in the cutting-edge area for said refiner disc, which further increases the refining capacity for said refiner disc in order to increase the efficacy, as well as the efficiency of, said, refiner. Said thickness of said fine bar and the number of said fine bar with said cutting-edge area of said refiner disc be correlated in a manner as the thickness of said fine bar decreases said cutting-edge area of said refiner disc increases. However, as the thickness of said fine bar decreases in order to increase the cutting-edge area, the strength of said fine bar also decreases owing to a reduction in the thickness of said fine bar. After reviewing the conventional failure stats for said refiner disc configured with said fine bar or micro bar and strength analysis, the region more susceptible to failure includes but not limits to the juncture of said fine bar with base of said refiner disc, the juncture of said base of refiner disc and a masking provision if provided, etc. due to transfer of said refining force from tip of said fine bar to the juncture of said fine bar with the base of said refiner disc, the juncture of said base of refiner disc and a masking provision if provided.
However, conventionally plethora of methods experimented which include but not limits to welding of said fine bar with said base of refiner palate, articulating mechanical juncture between said fine bar with said base of refiner plate, and implementing the provision of said intermediate mask palate for joining said fine bar with said base of refiner plate, etc. with the motive to achieve the best combination of said fine bar thickness and strength of said juncture of said fine bar with said base of said refiner plate and/or tiles or masking provision in order to formulate a strong and rigid configuration of said fine bar with said base of said refiner plate and/or tiles or masking provision to achieve an enhanced optimized result of said refining process.
Moreover, the US patent application no. 10/701930 published on 08th July 2004 discloses one of said configuration methods for joining said bar with said base of refiner plate by means of a masking provision. Wherein said bar can be inserted in said masking provision from the top and further said masking provision can be mounted on said refiner base plate in order to articulate said refiner disc with bar. Whereas in said configuration method disclosed in said US patent application no. 10/701930 recites the configuration provision for said bar with masking provision only and not with the masking provision with a base plate of said refiner disc. Further, the joining area for said bar with said masking provision is very small and limited to both sides of said bar only, and said masking provision and said base of refiner plate configure with each other by means of overlay preferably weld overlay. Said small joining area for said bar with said masking provision generates limited strength against the refining load and transfers the reaction forces to said masking provision and said base plate juncture configure by means of weld overlay. Said weld overlay forms the juncture of said masking provision and said base plate by means of filler material and/or by diffusion material of said masking provision and said base plate in order to form a distorted nonuniform juncture of said masking provision and said base plate that can be more susceptible to failure which includes but not limits to fatigue failure, formation of cracks after few running cycles, includes welding voids, etc. which can lead to a brittle catastrophic failure of said juncture between said masking provision and said base plate as well as said refiner disc.
Thus, the technological gap exists that is required to be alleviated by means of effective formulation methods for said refiner disc.
