    GTD,
    Firstly, a minimum of grade 350 is required.
    Wherever it contacts with the dirt, rock etc it should be Bisalloy plate, or bisalloy plate liner on top of the grade 350, or grade 350 with hardfacing.
    The idea is you never want to be replacing the actual bucket, you want to be replacing the plates that are in constant contact with the abrasive product.
    A lot will depend on what sort of work the excavator is doing.
    An excavator working in rock will require a different type of bucket lining than a bucket working exclusively in dirt.
    Hope that helps,
    Cheers,
    DD
