Description
When you’re running tillage equipment through rocky ground or abrasive soil, you know how fast wear plates and cutting edges can get eaten up. This chromium carbide flat slab gives you a way to add serious protection to shanks, sweeps, and other wear surfaces where the original steel just isn’t cutting it anymore. Think of it as armor plating for your tillage tools.
What You’re Getting
- Heavy-duty chromium carbide material that resists wear far better than regular steel
- 12-inch length gives you plenty of coverage for most tillage applications
- 3-3/8 inch width works well for reinforcing shanks, blades, and wear surfaces
- Flat design makes welding and positioning straightforward
- Extremely hard surface stands up to rocks, sand, and tough soil conditions
Built for Real Farm Work
This slab is perfect for extending the life of cultivator shanks, disc harrow parts, ripper points, and other tillage components that take a beating in the field. Whether you’re working through rocky ground, sandy soils, or heavy crop residue, this material holds up where regular steel wears away. It’s the same type of protection used on commercial tillage equipment.
Made to Last
Chromium carbide is one of the hardest materials used in agriculture—much tougher than standard carbon steel. The carbide particles in the matrix resist abrasion while the steel base keeps it from being too brittle. This combination gives you wear resistance that can last several times longer than regular steel in harsh conditions.
Installation Notes
Weld this slab directly onto existing wear surfaces using standard welding techniques. Clean the base metal thoroughly first, then weld around the edges and spot weld the center if needed for larger pieces. Let it cool naturally rather than quenching to keep the weld zone from getting brittle. A good tip is to grind a slight bevel on thick base metal for better weld penetration.
