Longer life on the parts that hit the ground — and downtime you can schedule.
Treated bucket teeth, chain links, and ground-engaging tools last significantly longer, turning emergency changeouts into planned maintenance and keeping equipment in the cut.

In mining and heavy earthmoving, wear parts don’t just cost money to replace — when a bucket tooth rounds off mid-shift, the whole machine stops. Thermal Cycling extends the working life of ground-engaging tools and wear components, so they last longer, fail less unexpectedly, and let you move changeouts into scheduled windows instead of forced downtime.
It treats the parts you already run without changing their dimensions or spec, so there’s nothing to redesign — just more hours out of every set and fewer surprises in the pit.
What treated wear parts deliver
- Significantly longer life on bucket teeth and ground-engaging tools
- Emergency changeouts turned into scheduled maintenance
- Less unplanned downtime — more time in the cut
- Longer-lasting chain links and high-wear components
- Independently measured wear-resistance gains
- Applied to the parts you already run — no redesign
What operations have actually measured
Dragline teeth: ~1.85× life (Mosaic / Four Corners)
On Dragline #19, untreated bucket teeth rounded off at about 7 weeks and caused dig problems; treated teeth ran roughly 13 weeks — about 1.85× — and eliminated the unplanned downtime, letting the mine schedule changeouts instead of reacting to failures.
Chain-mill links: no wear at 140 days
In side-by-side field use, treated chain-mill links showed no measurable wear at 140 days while untreated links were visibly worn.
+82% abrasive wear resistance (independent)
Independent ASTM testing measured an 82% improvement in abrasive wear resistance on thermalcycled cast iron — the mechanism behind longer life on abrasive, high-impact wear parts.
