HITACHI EX210RC Forged Bucket Teeth (TB00705RC): DOUBLESWORD’s Alloy Steel Rock -Breaking Tooth for Hitachi Excavators EX200/ EX210

On a 20-21 ton class crawler excavator like the Hitachi EX210RC, the bucket teeth are the primary wear components that directly engage rock, abrasive soil, and compacted overburden. The forged bucket tooth — part number TB00705RC — is specifically engineered for rock-breaking applications, where penetration, impact resistance, and long-lasting sharpness are non-negotiable. This tooth profile is designed to concentrate digging force into a focused edge, enabling efficient fracturing of hard ground while resisting the severe abrasion that would quickly dull a standard tooth.

HELI‑DSWORD manufactures the TB00705RC as an alloy steel forged rock-breaking bucket tooth tip for Hitachi excavators. We produce it from premium alloy steel using a forging process that maximizes structural integrity and wear resistance. I’m Jack, from the HELI‑DSWORD international affairs team, and I’ve personally written this article to give you a complete technical understanding of the metallurgy, forging discipline, and quality assurance behind our Hitachi EX210RC bucket teeth.

1. HELI‑DSWORD: A Full-Spectrum OEM/ODM Manufacturer Serving 5t to 400t Equipment, with Bucket Teeth up to 150t

HELI‑DSWORD is a dedicated OEM and ODM manufacturer of heavy-duty undercarriage systems and ground-engaging tools. Our engineering and production capabilities span tracked machinery from 5 tonnes to 300 tonnes, and we have extended our undercarriage platform to 400-tonne-class ultra-heavy equipment. In the specific segment of ground-engaging tools, we design and forge bucket teeth, adapters, and ripper tips for excavators and dozers up to 150 tonnes — easily covering the Hitachi EX210RC and its demanding rock-breaking applications.

Our products support the complete spectrum of tracked machinery, giving us deep cross-segment expertise:

• Crawler excavators (including Hitachi and all major brands)
• Bulldozers
• Crawler drilling rigs
• Crawler cranes
• Tracked loaders
• Tracked asphalt pavers
• Tracked conveyor systems

This broad application base means the TB00705RC rock tooth benefits from metallurgical and design knowledge accumulated across decades of severe-duty service in mining, quarrying, and heavy earthmoving — not just a single machine type.

2. Self-Built Factory and 100% In-House Production for Uncompromising Consistency

Rock-breaking teeth on an excavator are subjected to extreme multi-axial stresses: high-pressure abrasion from fractured rock, impact from large boulders, and bending forces during prying. Even a microscopic inconsistency in alloy chemistry, forging grain flow, or heat treatment depth can lead to premature tip wear, chipping, or catastrophic breakage. To eliminate every variable, HELI‑DSWORD operates from a self-built industrial campus where all production lines are fully company-owned. We outsource none of the core manufacturing steps.

Every tooth produced under part number TB00705RC passes through a complete in-house chain:

• Incoming alloy steel chemistry verification via optical emission spectrometry
• Precision hot die forging within tightly controlled temperature parameters
• CNC machining of the adapter pocket, retention pin groove, and rock-breaking working profile
• Targeted quenching and tempering heat treatment of the working face
• 100% non-destructive flaw detection on every individual tooth
• Random batch destructive cut-up inspection for internal integrity verification
• Dimensional metrology against Hitachi engineering tolerances
• Anti-corrosion coating and final quality release

Because every process is under our direct control, the quality of the TB00705RC tooth you receive today is identical to the one you will receive in any future order — fully traceable, fully repeatable.

3. OEM Manufacturing Partnerships and a Catalog of Over 20,000 Product References

Our manufacturing standards are proven daily by the original equipment manufacturers who trust us with their production. HELI‑DSWORD serves as an OEM manufacturing partner for leading global brands, including:

• Hitachi
• LiuGong
• XCMG
• KOBELCO
• SDLG (LGCE)

We produce undercarriage components and forged wear parts that are installed directly on new machines on these assembly lines, strictly conforming to their technical drawings, material specifications, and audit requirements. Our direct OEM relationship with Hitachi means the TB00705RC rock tooth is not reverse-engineered from a worn sample — it is manufactured with a genuine understanding of Hitachi’s load ratings, material codes, and dimensional stack-ups.

For the worldwide aftermarket, our active product catalog has grown to more than 20,000 individual part numbers, covering track rollers, carrier rollers, idlers, sprockets, complete track chains, and forged bucket teeth and adapters. This extensive engineering database ensures that the TB00705RC tooth is a precise, dimensionally accurate component, and that we can support mixed fleets with equal reliability.

4. Inside the TB00705RC Rock-Breaking Tooth: Molybdenum-Alloy Forging, Heat-Treated Work Face, and Dual-Level Inspection

Here is precisely how HELI‑DSWORD builds this rock-breaking bucket tooth to deliver exceptional wear resistance and impact toughness under the most demanding rock excavation conditions.

Alloy Steel Forging with Molybdenum — The tooth is hot-forged from a premium alloy steel that incorporates molybdenum (Mo). Molybdenum is a rare and strategic alloying element that fundamentally elevates steel performance. It significantly increases hardenability, allowing the tooth to achieve a deep and uniform hardness profile throughout its cross-section. More importantly, molybdenum promotes the formation of fine, hard, and thermally stable carbides that persist under high-temperature abrasion and resist wear far better than conventional chromium-based steels. The forging process aligns the metal grain flow along the tooth contour, maximizing fatigue strength at the highly stressed adapter pocket and the rock-breaking tip. The result is a tooth that maintains its sharp cutting edge longer, resists chipping, and delivers the wear-resistant and rugged performance that rock excavation demands.

Targeted Quenching and Tempering of the Working Face — After forging and machining, the working face and tip area receive a precisely controlled quench-and-temper heat treatment. This creates a deep, hardened wear layer on all surfaces that contact rock, while the core retains a tougher, more ductile microstructure to absorb impact. The tempering parameters are carefully calibrated to achieve the exact hardness window that maximizes abrasion resistance without causing brittleness — a critical balance for a rock-breaking tooth on a 21-ton excavator.

100% Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) — Every single finished tooth undergoes 100% non-destructive flaw detection. We use magnetic particle and ultrasonic inspection to scan the entire tooth body, adapter pocket, and tip for any sub-surface cracks, forging laps, porosity, or inclusions. A hidden internal defect could lead to sudden tooth fracture at the digging face, potentially damaging downstream equipment and causing hours of downtime. Our 100% NDT protocol eliminates that risk before the tooth leaves our facility.

Batch Destructive Cut-Up Inspection — In addition to NDT on every tooth, we randomly select sample teeth from each production batch and perform destructive cut-up analysis. Cross-sectioning the tooth allows our metallurgists to verify internal grain flow continuity, heat treatment case depth uniformity, and the complete absence of internal voids. This dual-level inspection approach — 100% NDT plus destructive batch sampling — provides the highest practical assurance of structural quality.

Strict Dimensional Tolerance Control — All critical dimensions — the adapter nose pocket profile, retention pin slot location and width, and the rock-breaking tip geometry — are machined and verified within the tolerances of the original Hitachi engineering drawings. This ensures a tight, secure lock-up between the TB00705RC tooth and the corresponding adapter, eliminating relative movement that accelerates insert wear and preventing tooth loss during aggressive rock digging.
