Try Working Differently: a red path breaks free of a grey maze

A Different Strategy

Working in heavy industry to keep all the equipment humming along is a demanding task. Everyone has a few items that constantly challenge you to keep them from breaking down.

Persistence Is Not Just About Effort, But Also Strategy. Don’t Simply Try Working Harder; Try Working Differently.

You’re more likely to unlock a performance jump using a different approach than by trying to work harder.

You might be able to work 10% harder, but a different approach might work 10 times better.

This was the approach JADCO used to develop a wear resistant material that would bridge the gap between the abrasion resistance of Chrome Carbide Overlay (CCO) and the impact resistance of heat-treated alloy steel.

CHROMEWELD™ Ti Was Designed For Abrasion Applications With Significant Impact.

JADCO developed CHROMEWELD™ Ti plate to have more abrasion resistance than QT-PLUS®, with greater impact resistance than other Chrome Carbide Overlay (CCO) plates.

CHROMEWELD™ Ti is made specifically to withstand impact substantially better than the abrasion resistant CCO products from other vendors.

We Enhanced The Level Of Titanium To Take Impact

Adding titanium gives a Chrome Carbide Overlay plate the ability to take significant impact. Traditional CCO plates often fail when a 24" rock falls six feet onto a feeder deck.

Review Your Most Difficult Wear Plate Applications:

1. Your AR plates don’t withstand the abrasive wear long enough to last a full aggregate season.

Worn AR wear plate where the hard surface layer has worn away, exposing softer steel underneath
Here you can see what happens once the 0.020" hard surface layer wears away: the inside of the steel is not much more wear resistant than mild steel. It is easy to spot wear plates that are NOT THROUGH HARDENED. If you see this on your equipment, you end up replacing these pieces far too often.

2. You tried a CCO plate rated for ‘moderate impact’ in the past, and it failed from repeated impact.

Cracked chunks of chrome carbide overlay that broke out of a wear plate under repeated impact
Here you can see chunks of Chrome Carbide Overlay (CCO) that broke out of the wear plate. If you have tried CCO in the past and it collapsed like this, your application has far more impact than standard CCO can handle.

This Is Where CHROMEWELD™ Ti Is The Ideal Choice For Wear Resistant Steel Battling Both IMPACT AND ABRASION.

As North America’s leading manufacturer of Chrome Carbide Overlay (CCO) plate, you can depend on the results you get from JADCO.

Our entire CHROMEWELD™ family of CCO products is made at our headquarters in Harmony, PA, located 30 minutes north of Pittsburgh.

JADCO created our own clad machines to make CERTAIN WE DELIVER THE LONGEST LASTING MATERIALS to our customers.

This gives us complete control over every aspect of making our industry leading CHROMEWELD™ overlay plate.

Never Consider The CHROMEWELD™ Family Of Products A “One Size Fits All” Wear Plate.

Our customers look to us for continuous wear resistant improvement. They rely on JADCO to create unique products to address their specific wear challenges.

This further improves your wear plate performance results. It’s like having your own research and development for state-of-the-art wear resistant products, without the investment.

Each CHROMEWELD™ product has been proven in real world applications for years before you ever install it in your equipment.

For the last 46+ years, JADCO has focused exclusively on delivering consistent, longer equipment life for our customers.

By strictly focusing on improving your current results, we look at the wear process differently. This is why we deliver better performance results and lower cost of ownership for our customers.

Allow us to help you today by emailing us at info@jadcomfg.com or calling (724) 452-5252.

We will schedule a meeting with one of our local wear plate specialists at a time that best fits your schedule.

Remember, the only thing you have to lose by not working with JADCO is profit.
