A durable, weld-on chrome carbide tooth is provided for roll crushers. The tooth includes a chrome carbide body that is vacuum brazed to a mild steel backing plate. An upper portion of the tooth is preferably cast from chrome carbide alloy having 25 percent high-chrome-molybdenum content and a Brinell Hardness Number of about 700. The mating surfaces of the chrome carbide body and the mild steel backing plate are surface ground, then brazed together in a heat-treating furnace that has been evacuated to a pressure of less than 1×10−3 Torr. The minor differences in thermal expansion coefficients of the chrome carbide body and the mild steel backing plate are absorbed in the brazed joint, thereby reducing the buildup of mechanical stresses at the boundary layer. The mild steel backing plate enables the tooth to be welded directly to the drum of a rotary crusher.
