Bucket teeth lasting three days: material or ground conditions?

Weathered rock with high quartz content; teeth last about three days.
The same model lasts ten days at another mine, and parts come from the same batch.
Thicker teeth or a different alloy: how do we judge the value?

Quartz is the most abrasive; standard teeth cannot hold. High-chrome teeth cost double but last three times.

Check adapters and bucket lip wear first; a loose adapter causes abnormal tooth wear.

Judge by cost per cubic metre, not unit price; high chrome cut ours by 20%.
