Hoping to draw on the vast collection of experience here to get me started on a project.

Trying to improve life of tooling in a line that pulverizes an abrasive-containing material. Unfortunately I can't share too many details (not my decision to make), but let's say it's a wood pulverizer (crushing, not cutting) that would have to survive a lot of sand going through it (small highly abrasive particles), as well as a stone or nail running through it every now or then.

I have a feeling if I can find out what is used in the mining industry for tooling that pulverizes/crushes ore, it will work for me. I have a feeling high cobalt tungsten carbide would work, but hoping for something that'd be easier to try.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Edit: Additional details...

• Wear is major; up to an inch of tool missing at end of life, so I believe coatings will only work if they are thick (0.100" )
