I need to maintain the same impact strength or close to it and purely increase wear life. Cost is still a consideration and even small baby steps would help...

All kinds of abrasive material impacts and wears down my product as the system processes it. Examples include: 6" minus material; Rock, broken glass, dirt(compost)...
