When harvesting sugar cane, the harvester sees a high degree of abrasion from contact with sugar can stalks, as well as from the extraneous dirt, sand, and rocks from the field. There are multiple components on the harvester that have exposure to this wear: crop dividers, feeding rolls, base cutters, and chopper rollers. The life of the harvester components that see the highest degree of wear can be greatly extended by hardfacing with either EnDOtec 6710 XHD electrode or the TeroMatec OA 4603 self-shielded wire. An improvement in the lifetime of up to 3 times can be achieved when compared to the lifespan of the original equipment parts.
