Tungsten Carbide for Agricultural Equipment

Introduction

Agricultural equipment operates in highly abrasive soil. Tungsten carbide components extend the life of tillage tools and soil-engaging parts, reducing replacement costs.

Plow Shares and Blades

Carbide-tipped plow shares and tillage blades cut through soil, sand, and rocks. They last many times longer than steel edges, reducing sharpening and replacement downtime.

Seed and Fertilizer Metering

Carbide components in metering devices resist abrasion from seed and fertilizer. They maintain precise meter clearances for accurate application rates.

Harvester Components

Carbide wear parts in harvesters handle crop residue and soil contamination. They extend component life and reduce maintenance during critical harvest periods.

Custom Solutions

Carbide tiles, buttons, and overlays can be brazed onto steel wear parts. This combines the toughness of steel with the wear resistance of carbide, cost-effectively.

Conclusion

Tungsten carbide improves the durability and performance of agricultural equipment. It reduces downtime and maintenance costs in demanding farming operations.
