1. Product Overview & Application

1.1 Primary Function

The bucket tooth is a critical wear component that serves as the primary interface between the excavator and the material being excavated. Its performance directly influences:

• Penetration Efficiency: Optimal geometry for reduced digging resistance.
• Load Retention: Effective shape for minimizing material spillage.
• Structural Protection: Shields the bucket lip and adapter from direct wear and impact forces.

1.2 Target Machine & Compatibility

• Primary Application: VOLVO EC950 Crawler Excavator.
• OEM Reference Part Number: 14727597TL.
• Note: Designed as a direct replacement, ensuring perfect fit with the VOLVO bucket adapter system without modification.

2. Advanced Manufacturing: The HELI (DSWORD) Forging Process

Our manufacturing philosophy centers on precision hot-forging, a superior method for producing high-stress wear components.

2.1 Precision Closed-Die Forging

1. Material Selection: We use premium high-carbon, low-alloy boron steel billets, selected for their optimal balance of hardness, toughness, and wear resistance.
2. Hot Forging: Steel is heated to a precise austenitizing temperature and formed under immense pressure in CNC-machined dies. This process aligns the steel’s grain flow with the tooth’s contours, creating inherent strength.
3. Controlled Cooling & Heat Treatment: A multi-stage process including quenching and tempering establishes a hardened outer surface (typically 45-50 HRC) for wear resistance, paired with a tough, ductile core to absorb high-impact shocks without brittle fracture.
4. Precision Machining: Critical mounting interfaces (e.g., the bore and locking groove) are machined to exact tolerances (IT8-IT9) to guarantee a secure, rattle-free fit with the adapter.
5. Quality Inspection: Each batch undergoes dimensional checks, hardness testing, and metallographic analysis to ensure consistency.

2.2 Key Advantages of Forged Teeth

• Dense Microstructure: Forging eliminates internal voids and porosity common in cast teeth, leading to uniform hardness and superior structural integrity.
• Enhanced Impact Strength: The continuous grain flow provides exceptional resistance to chipping and breaking under sudden loads.
• Optimal Wear Life: Superior material density translates to longer service life in highly abrasive environments like rocky soil, quarried stone, and recycled materials.
• Reliable Performance: Predictable wear patterns and reduced risk of catastrophic failure ensure greater machine uptime.

3. Technical Specifications & Design Features

3.1 Material Science

• Steel Grade: Proprietary HELI boron-alloy steel (Equivalent to 35MnB, 40MnB).
• Hardness Profile: Surface hardness of 45-50 HRC with a graduated core hardness to manage impact.
• Metallurgical Properties: Fine, uniform martensitic/bainitic microstructure achieved through controlled heat treatment.

3.2 Ergonomic & Functional Design

• Penetration-Optimized Tip: Curvature and angle are engineered to reduce digging force and improve bucket filling efficiency.
• Reinforced Core Section: Extra material in high-stress areas (behind the tip and around the locking mechanism) prevents bending and premature failure.
• Precision Locking Interface: Machined to ensure a tight, secure fit with the adapter, eliminating unnecessary movement that causes accelerated wear.

4. HELI (DSWORD) Factory Capabilities: A Leader in Forging

As a top-quality forged bucket tooth manufacturer, our integrated facility ensures end-to-end quality control:

• Vertical Integration: We manage the entire process from raw material sourcing to final packaging, guaranteeing traceability and consistency.
