WearMaxShear Steels – 5 Times More Wear Resistant
| Portola’s WearMax Shear Steels demand less maintenance
time and
provide longer intervals between replacing parts. They cost
a little
more, but you’ll need to buy fewer of them and you’ll have
less downtime—and that makes them less expensive to use. WearMax Shear
Steels offer you five times the wear resistance and one and
a half times
the toughness. |
