Genesis Shears: GXP, GXT, GMS Series (Direct-fit nose blade profiles)
Other Mainstream Brands: Mantovanibenne, Verachtert, Caterpillar scrap shears
Operation Demands:
Primary piercing and puncturing of heavy steel plates
Initial structural breach on tanks, vessels, and H-beams
High-impact cross-cutting in vehicle dismantling
2. Metallurgy & Hardness Selection Matrix
Piercing tips endure extreme point load and impact during shearing operations. We deploy high-alloy tool steel materials to avoid premature fracture under full cylinder tonnage.

Working Hardness
Primary Mechanical Property
Target Piercing Media
H13
AISI H13 / 1.2344
48 - 54 HRC
Maximum resistance to thermal shock; high impact toughness
All piercing tips are machined from 100% pure virgin tool steel billets with no recycled scrap material. Premium clean metallurgy removes internal macro-voids, effectively preventing tip breakage under high-tonnage piercing loads.
Integral Vacuum Quenching
Full automated vacuum heat treatment delivers consistent, through-hardened hardness from the tip apex to the mounting base. This processing eliminates surface soft layers and tip flattening under heavy impact.
CNC Coordinate Machining
CNC precision machining controls all mounting surfaces, keyways and bolt holes within ±0.02mm tolerance. Perfect OEM seat fit eliminates part displacement and mounting bolt shear failure.
4. Technical FAQ
Q: Why do piercing tips crack during initial puncture, and how do you prevent it?
A: Tip cracking is mainly caused by internal steel defects or improper over-brittle heat treatment. Our 100% virgin tool steel and integral vacuum quenching eliminate material flaws, delivering a stable 48–55 HRC hardness rating to withstand sharp impact and prevent brittle fracture.
Q: How do I choose between H13, X45, and 1.2746 for my piercing tips?
A: Select H13 (48-54 HRC) for extreme shock resistance and heavy cross-impact working conditions. Choose X45 or 1.2746 (52-56 HRC) for thick steel plates, boiler plates and heavy scrap processing, where high core toughness prevents bending and damage.
Q: Do your piercing tips require field modification or welding to fit OEM shears?
A: No on-site modification or welding is required. All parts match standard OEM dimensions for LaBounty MSD, Genesis GXP, GXT and GMS series shears, enabling direct drop-in installation and perfect bolt hole alignment.
