Abrasion Resistance Explained
The two main causes of wear we combat daily are Abrasion and Impact.
The ASTM test to measure the abrasive resistance of any metal is the G-65 Test.
To Compare Any Materials, Every Variable Must Be Identical.
This standardized test measures the material weight loss from a specific metal sample, measured in grams.
The rubber test wheel is a specific durometer hardness. For this example, the test wheel was 8.875” in diameter. They use special test sand so the granule hardness, grain shape and size are consistent.
The test sand drops above the location where the rubber wheel contacts the test material, shown above with the red arrow. The sand is squeezed between the steel and the wheel.
The Metal Samples Are Weighed Before And After The Test. The Weight Loss Is Measured In Grams.
JADCO CHROMEWELD 600 ™ is the industry standard for long lasting flights. Here you can see the wear life difference compared to mild steel and AR500, commonly used to make screw flights. How long do your flights last?

How Do JADCO Products Compare For Abrasion Resistance?
The Abrasion Life Increase scale is an accurate representation of wear life for these JADCO products. On the products shown with two names, the first name is a plate and the second name is hardfacing welding alloy wire.
The CW names such as CW600 are the Chromeweld ™ family of Chrome Carbide Overlay plates. The Fusion product line are the welding alloys.
Does Your CCO (Chrome Carbide Overlay plate) Vendor Only Have One Type Of Plate?
As the leading manufacturer of Chrome Carbide Overlay (CCO) plate in North America, you can depend on the results you get from JADCO. Most steel distributors buy foreign CCO which has little carbide content, and even less quality control.
Our entire Chromeweld family of CCO products are made at our headquarters in Harmony, PA, 30 minutes North of Pittsburgh.
To make certain we deliver the longest lasting materials to our customers, JADCO has created our own clad machines. This gives us total control over every aspect of making our industry leading CHROMEWELD overlay plate.
If your current vendor is not bringing you new products or different approaches to resolve your wear plate headaches; you have likely out grown their ability to improve your wear results.
Never consider the CHROMEWELD ™ family of products as a “One Size Fits All” wear plate.
We offer these CCO products for your worst wear headaches:
CHROMEWELD™ 600:
The industry leader in Chrome Carbide Overlay wear plate, recognized by many leading manufacturers whose equipment lasts longer than their competition.
CHROMEWELD™ Ti:
For greater impact resistance than your usual CCO will tolerate, Ti is your go-to wear solution.
CHROMEWELD™ Nb PLUS:
Battle fine particle and high velocity abrasion with this combination of Chrome and Niobium carbides.
CHROMEWELD™ COMPLEX:
Combat High Heat abrasion applications with Chrome, Niobium and Vanadium Carbide overlays.
CHROMEWELD™ GLIDE:
When only a perfectly smooth surface will work, we have your solution
CHROMEWELD™ FLOW:
Protect the insides of your piping with the best Chrome Carbide material
CHROMEWELD™ W:
Tungsten Carbide for the toughest wear environments.
Isn’t It Time For You To Get The Longer Wear Life You Deserve?
Our customers are always looking to us for continuous improvement and rely upon JADCO to continue to create new products, to address their specific wear challenges.
This further improves your wear plate performance results by having the Research and Development for these state-of-the-art wear resistant products. Each one is already completed and proven in real world applications, before you ever install them in your equipment.
For over 45 years, JADCO has focused exclusively on delivering consistent, longer life for our customers.
We pride ourselves to deliver “Walk Away Results” to you. This means after you install JADCO wear resistant steel products, we are both able to walk away knowing you will not lose sleep wondering if these wear products will fail in your equipment at the worst possible time. Not with JADCO.
Now you understand why we are able to deliver better results to our customers. We think differently by strictly focusing on improving your current results. This is why we deliver better performance results for our customers.
