	Study which materials have been used on existing ploughs, evaluate them, reject the worst and select the best. One wouldn't use expanded polystyrene, for instance. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	disks are ordinary 1050 to 1070 carbon steel.and a layer of 12-14% Manganese Steel will make it high resistance to wear i am suggesting you because it used on the mixing blades of concrete mixers and gives long life span. __________________ love4everyone

	Are you fabricating this disc plow for your own use, and as such intend to repair/reface the discs as needed yourself? . Or are you intending to market the disc plow? If so, that market will be important to you selection of material. Do you hope to sell replacement discs/repair, i.e. do you hope discs or repairs will be continuing revenue stream? Will the customers you are targeting pay a premium for going longer between disc repair/replacement? __________________ Eternal vigilance is the price of knowledge. - George Santayana
