    Patent number: 12774588
    Abstract: A liner assembly for a work implement is adapted to be coupled to a body of the work implement. The liner assembly includes a plurality of liners coupled to the body of the work implement. Each of the plurality of liners includes a base plate. The base plate defines a first surface adapted to contact material present in the work implement. The base plate also defines a second surface adapted to contact the body of the work implement. The base plate further defines a plurality of grooves extending between the first surface and the second surface. Each of the plurality of grooves defines a first maximum length between two ends thereof. Each of the plurality of grooves is adapted to receive welding material to couple a corresponding liner with the body of the work implement.
