Our alloyed steel pins have exceptional wear resistance and toughness. They are produced from vacuum degassed, calcium-silicon injected Ni-Cr-Mo steel pin stock that has been quenched, tempered, and stress relieved to 360 BHN minimum.

This material undergoes proprietary heat treatment, which creates a superior wear-resistant surface and tough inner core. Hardness values typically range from 600 and 713 BHN, while core impact values are exceedingly high.

Our special bushings are custom made from austenitic, forged, high carbon, 11% - 14% manganese steel. They are field proven through many years of extreme use for dragline and shovel buckets.

Tricon® special bushings are designed for applications with heavy loading and abrasive wear with no lubrication. Because these bushings work harden, they maintain a ductile center yet retain an abrasion-resistant surface to reduce cracking problems associated with castings.

• Reduce downtime and maintenance costs.
• Field services to assist with measurements.
• Increase profits and production; decrease inventories.
• Tailored to applications .

Downtime of wear-prone equipment is not always scheduled. We know this, and maintain pin stock available to fill your order on short notice. Inventories in diameters up to 18" are stocked to ensure prompt delivery.

Tricon pin stock is mill certified, ultrasonically inspected, heat treated, straightened, and stress relieved to our specifications. Through-hardening ensures a tough, wear-resistant core.

For applications involving severe heat and wear, Tricon has developed the Super-X® pin.

This unique pin is a composite product made of a tough inner core and a super hard, heat-resistant surface. A low coefficient of friction is maintained on the pin surface as a result of precise metallurgical control.

Welding the headers onto the pin stock is a crucial operation. Custom-formulated electrodes are used under closely controlled conditions to achieve high strength and toughness in every Tricon® special treated pin.

After the header is welded, the pin is subjected to a special treatment to ensure the longest wear life possible.
