Maximize productivity and minimize downtime in the toughest mining conditions with our Wear-Resistant Bi-Metal Bucket Teeth. Specifically engineered for excavators, loaders, and shovels operating in abrasive overburden, ore, and rock, these teeth utilize a sophisticated bi-metallic construction. A premium high-chromium cast iron or similar ultra-hard alloy forms the penetrating tip and critical wear zones, fusion-bonded via a specialized casting process to a high-toughness alloy steel base. This design delivers the perfect balance: extreme hardness at the wear points to resist gouging abrasion, backed by exceptional strength to withstand high digging forces and impacts, resulting in significantly longer tooth life and reduced replacement costs.
Dual-Material Advantage: Ultra-hard wear tip (HRc 62-68) for superior penetration and abrasion resistance, fused to a shock-absorbing alloy steel shank for durability.
Optimized Wear Geometry: Precision-cast shapes designed for efficient digging, material flow, and maximum wear life in specific mining applications (e.g., hard rock, coal, iron ore).
Fusion Bond Integrity: The metallurgical bond ensures the hard tip remains securely attached even under extreme cyclic loading, preventing tip loss.
Superior Impact Resistance: The tough alloy steel base provides the necessary strength to handle high breakout forces and impacts with boulders or bedrock without fracturing.
Compatibility: Designed to fit major OEM adapters and pin systems (e.g., CAT, Komatsu, Hitachi, Liebherr) for easy retrofitting.
Cost Efficiency: Extended service life directly translates to fewer change-outs, lower parts inventory, and reduced machine downtime, boosting overall mine efficiency.
Excavator buckets (front shovel, backhoe) in surface mining (coal, metal, quarry).
Wheel loader and front-end loader buckets in mine sites and stockpiles.
Cable shovel and hydraulic shovel dippers.
Dragline buckets.
Any heavy digging application involving highly abrasive materials in mining environments.
Q: Why choose bi-metal teeth over standard cast teeth for mining?
A: Bi-metal teeth offer significantly higher abrasion resistance at the critical wear points (tip, sides) than standard manganese or carbon steel teeth, leading to 2-3 times or more longer life in highly abrasive conditions. The steel base ensures impact resistance isn't compromised.
Q: Are these teeth suitable for very hard rock mining?
A: Absolutely. The combination of an ultra-hard tip for penetration and abrasion resistance with a tough base for impact makes them ideal for hard rock conditions where both wear and impact are severe.
Q: How is the hard tip attached? Won't it break off?
A: The specialized fusion casting process creates a metallurgical bond between the hard alloy and the steel base. This bond is integral and significantly stronger than mechanical attachment methods, minimizing the risk of tip loss.
Q: Can I get teeth to fit my specific machine model?
A: Yes, bi-metal teeth are typically manufactured to fit standard OEM adapter systems for all major mining equipment brands. Provide your machine model or adapter type.
Q: Do bi-metal teeth require special handling or installation?
A: Installation is identical to standard bucket teeth, using pins and retainers. No special procedures are needed. Handle with standard care to avoid damaging the hard tip.
