Socs, also known as tines or points for chisel ploughs or anchor subsoilers, with an HTite® tungsten carbide coating are ideal for heavy use as they are particularly resistant to abrasive wear.
The tines or points are usually combined with rippers that are also coated in tungsten carbide, and are made of hardened boron steel, to which the HTite® coating is applied. The coating enhances the strength and durability of the tines, without altering their original geometry. They therefore meet all the technical specifications required by the machine manufacturer, especially the power absorbed during processing. This is particularly important for monitoring and reducing fuel consumption during processing.
The longer service life of tines coated in HTite® increases productivity without compromising the high processing quality, since the tool maintains its original shape for a long time, reducing the frequency of checks and maintenance.
The alloy is deposited on the chisel plough or anchor subsoiler tines by means of technologically advanced industrial systems, which allow the HTite® coating to adhere perfectly to the substrate, making the treated part very strong and tough.
The HTite® coating is extremely compact, with a smooth, crack-free surface, an average matrix hardness of over 600 HV and tungsten carbide hardness of up to 2500 HV.
