摘要

Wear element comprises a body having a geometric shape comprising a plurality of side walls with at least one side wall comprising one or more projections extending therefrom, in use so that the projection(s) abuts, or is located in close proximity to a body of an adjacently located wear element when said wear elements are installed on the wear face. The projections extend from the body such that when in abutment with a side wall of an adjacently located wear element, they can control the spacing between the respective side walls.
