ABSTRACT:
A metal ground engaging tool (GET) component is selected. One or more critical wear surfaces on the GET component are identified. The GET component is selectively reinforced by depositing one or more metal matrix composite components at the one or more identified critical wear surfaces on the GET component. The metal matrix composite components consist of a reinforcement preform and a metal. The preform is formed from a material selected from one of ceramic, cermet, or mixtures thereof. The metal is selected from one of iron, alloy steel, or mixtures thereof. The reinforcement preform is present in the metal matrix composite in the range of about 30% to about 60% by volume.
