For those in the engineering field,
excavator bucket teeth are a very familiar component—as the "vanguard" of excavation operations, they must withstand high-intensity impacts and resist material wear, making them arguably the most easily worn core parts of an excavator. Fortunately, wear and failure usually occurs at the tooth tips, eliminating the need for complete replacement. Therefore, "cost-effectiveness" becomes a key consideration when selecting a model. Today, we'll discuss the manufacturing process and core performance of bucket teeth, and by the way, recommend a reliable option: coated sand-cast bucket teeth produced by Juxian Yuezhong Machinery (Yuezhong Machinery), offering excellent quality at an affordable price.
The four main types of bucket teeth on the market:
There are four main manufacturing processes for bucket teeth on the market: sand casting, coated sand casting, precision casting, and forging. While sand casting is inexpensive, the surface of the bucket teeth is rough, and their hardness and wear resistance are insufficient, making them unsuitable for modern engineering operations. Forged bucket teeth have acceptable performance, but their sales have remained low due to high production costs and limited product variety. Coated sand casting and precision casting are currently the mainstream processes. Yuezhong Machinery's combination of "coated sand casting + precision casting with water glass" controls production costs while providing excellent wear resistance and impact resistance, perfectly balancing cost-effectiveness and practicality.
Differences in the durability of bucket teeth:
Many people wonder why there is such a big difference in durability between the same type of fighting teeth? This is closely related to failure analysis. During the digging process, the bucket teeth experience complex forces in contact with the material at the working face, and must withstand varying degrees of impact and wear at different stages of operation. Metallographic analysis revealed that the matrix of Yuezhong Machinery's bucket teeth is mainly composed of black, fine lamellar structures, while the inserts are composed of ferrite (white blocks) and troostite (black flaky particles). This material structure significantly improves the wear resistance of the bucket teeth—tested with an MLD-10 wear tester, both the matrix and inserts exhibit better wear resistance than traditional quenched 45 steel, effectively extending their service life.
Summarize
As a core advantage of combination bucket teeth, the individually replaceable tooth tip design already reduces operating costs. Yuezhong Machinery's coated sand bucket teeth further enhance durability through optimized manufacturing processes, making "high quality at a low price" a reality. Whether in mining, earthmoving, or infrastructure construction, these wear-resistant bucket teeth are adaptable to various working conditions, reducing replacement frequency and ensuring project progress.
