Make the wear part wear longer.
Wear-resistant hardfacing and weld-on wear plates for buckets, blades, teeth, chutes, augers, hoppers and other surfaces that grind away.
- Options: Hardfacing overlay, wear plate
- Wear types: Abrasion, impact, combined
- Patterns: Beads, cross-hatch, full coat
What it is, and why it matters.
Abrasion eats equipment: bucket lips, cutting edges, auger flights, crusher parts, hopper floors. Hardfacing lays down a hard, wear-resistant layer on the surface, and wear plates add a replaceable shield, both extending the life of the base metal.
We select hardfacing rods or wires for the type of wear, abrasion, impact or a mix, prepare the surface and apply it in patterns that suit the part. For large areas, we cut and weld on abrasion-resistant plate. We tell you honestly what to expect from each option.

Hardfacing & Wear Plates: common questions
Is hardfacing worth it?
Often, for parts that wear out quickly. It can multiply service life on the right parts, though results depend on the wear type and application. We give you an honest estimate of the benefit.
Can new parts be hardfaced before use?
Yes. Many owners hardface new bucket edges and tooth areas before use, so they last far longer from the start.
