Titanium Carbide (TiC)

Titanium Carbide
Wear Parts

Unicast wear parts with Titanium Carbide (TiC) inserts deliver outstanding durability. Impactors/Blow Bars, Jaw Crusher Plates, Hammers, and Breaker Blocks are offered in TiC versions. We chose the rhino to symbolize the toughness of the titanium carbide rods that give our wear parts such power.

Advantages of Titanium Carbide

  • Increased Wear Life - Unicast’s unique TiC hammer and blow bar design features a strengthened high-wear zone for maximum usable wear life and reduced breakage.
  • Strengthens as It Works - Hammer body is cast in durable manganese steel (M19) that gets harder the longer you work it.
  • Consistent Wear - More consistent wear profile for uniform product output and increased efficiency.
  • Titanium Carbides - TiC inserts currently available are 20mm, 40mm, 60mm, and 80mm depths.
  • Fewer Change-Outs - Greater durability and longer wear life means fewer change outs, more up-time, and lower maintenance costs.
