3X Longer Ripper Tooth Life? CIM Makes It Happen

 

Ripper teeth, mounted on the back of dozers, are essential for breaking up hard ground, rock, or frozen soil before excavation. Due to their demanding role, they require exceptional wear and impact resistance.

​

At Canadian Innovative Materials (CIM), we’re proud to share a case study demonstrating how our Plasma Transferred Arc（PTA）overlay combined with front-mounted sintered Tungsten Carbide tiles can significantly extend the lifespan of ripper teeth—up to 3x longer than OEM products.

​

Why Does CIM Last Longer?

Sintered WC Tile Reinforcement:
High-hardness sintered tungsten carbide tiles are strategically installed at the front impact zone, where abrasion and impact are most severe. This provides superior protection and extends wear life in even the most aggressive digging conditions.

​

Optimized Hardfacing Composition:
Our Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA) welding process deposits a customized blend of eutectic tungsten carbide particles and nickel-based matrix, delivering the ideal balance of hardness, toughness, and metallurgical bonding.

 

The Result:
Up to 3x longer tool life
Reduced downtime and Lower operating costs
Superior ground penetration
