Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a ground engaging component (200) is disclosed. The method includes providing a mixture of compacted powders including carbon, titanium, and a first alloy, the first alloy having a first composition and heating the mixture to a temperature and for a duration sufficient to combine the mixture to form an insert (202) having a desired shape. The method further includes locating the insert (202) in a desired position in a mold and casting a second alloy having a second composition into the mold, the second alloy forming a ground engaging component (200) with the insert (202) bonded therein.
Abstract:
A camshaft (1) used in an internal combustion engine (14) which has reduced weight and added wear resistance at a lobe (6) of the camshaft. The camshaft (1) is provided to add increased wear resistance and reduced weight to the internal combustion engine (14) for increased efficiency of the internal combustion engine. The camshaft (1) includes wear resistant material (12) at the surface of the lobe (6) of the camshaft (1). The wear resistant material (12) is distributed on the outer surface of the lobe (6) and incorporated into the base material.
Abstract:
A wear component includes a base portion and a tip portion. The tip portion includes a proximate end and a distal end. The proximate end is metallurgically bonded to the base portion at a base-tip interface, which may have a generally parabolic cross-sectional profile. The distal end defines an exterior surface of the wear component.
Abstract:
A ground engaging tooth (52) for a ground engaging machine (20) is disclosed. The ground engaging tooth (52) may comprise a non-ground- engaging end (54), a ground-engaging end (56), a body (58) extending between the non-ground-engaging end (54), the ground-engaging end (56), a top surface (60), a bottom surface (62), a left surface (64) and a right surface (66). Further, the ground engaging tooth (52) may comprise a coupling side including a pocket (76) configured to receive a retaining device (78). Moreover, the ground engaging tooth (52) may comprise a wear side including an integral-wear-insert (80). The integral-wear-insert (80) may longitudinally extend along the bottom surface (62) towards the ground-engaging end (56) and vertically extend towards the top surface (60) at the ground-engaging end (56).
Abstract:
A method of casting an article includes positioning a first portion of the article, formed from a first material, in a rotatable mold. Additionally, the method includes, while rotating the mold, pouring a molten second material into the mold over the first portion to form a second portion of the article that is metallurgically bonded to the first portion of the article.
