Description

When you’re working rocky ground, running through abrasive soil, or dealing with the kind of wear that eats up bucket edges and cutting surfaces faster than you’d like, it’s time to think about hard surfacing. This chromium carbide flat slab gives you the raw material to protect your equipment from the kind of punishment that comes with real farm work. Whether you’re building up a worn bucket edge or adding protection to a new piece, this overlay plate is your ticket to longer-lasting equipment.

What You’re Getting

High-chromium carbide construction that stands up to extreme abrasion and impact
4-3/8 inch width by 12 inch length gives you plenty of material for most repair jobs
Flat slab design makes it easy to shape and weld to your specific application
Professional-grade overlay material that welds on smooth with standard stick or MIG equipment

Built for Real Farm Work

This overlay plate is perfect for protecting bucket cutting edges, loader bucket floors, scraper blades, and any other surface that takes a beating from rocks, roots, and abrasive soil. You’ll find it works great on excavator buckets, front-end loaders, scrapers, and tillage equipment where metal-on-dirt contact is wearing things out faster than you’d like.

Made to Last

Chromium carbide is the go-to material when you need serious wear resistance. This stuff is significantly harder than regular steel plate, so it keeps working long after standard material would be worn through. The carbide particles are distributed throughout the overlay, giving you consistent protection across the entire surface.

Good to Know

This material welds best with low-hydrogen electrodes and benefits from preheating on thicker base materials. Take your time with the welding—good penetration and proper technique will give you a bond that lasts. If you’re new to overlay welding, practice on some scrap first to get the feel for how this material behaves.
