Composite cutting edge for excavators and loaders

Nye Manufacturing’s latest development is a Composite Cutting Edge for excavator and loader buckets. Nye took the toughness of QT (Quenched and Tempered alloy) combined with the abrasion resistance of AR (Abrasion Resistant Heat Treated Alloy) to come up with the Duralam cutting edge. The Duralam was designed for ultimate strength and cold weather toughness and achieves this by using a single QT core for strength and an AR outer layer for wear resistance. Every Nye bucket is designed and built specifically for the application. The bucket pictured above is Nye’s ultra heavy duty rock bucket design and was built as per customer’s request with optional heel shrouds, lip shrouds, side bar protectors and the new Duralam composite cutting edge.
