Build A Better Screen

Are Tariffs Affecting Wear Plate Pricing?

JADCO • Rich F.2025-03-24T14:36:21-04:00

Tariffs on imported goods from every country are all over the news, causing uncertain prices for everything from the stock market to the grocery store.

While Wear Resistant Steel Is Not Immune From Price Changes, Foreign Steel Prices Are All Over The Board.

JADCO Wear Plates Are Proudly Made In America

 

“You have to have a wait and see approach as the commodity steel market expands and contracts, to see where things are going to settle out. Right now, there is a lot of over-reaction in the market and the supply chain is exceedingly sensitive to market conditions.”

What Do You Gain By Working With JADCO?

  • The most consistent wear life available, allowing you to plan when to replace your wear items in advance. With no surprises.
  • Consistent pricing and stability for decades is the proof this is a reputable company.
  • Expertise with your equipment in your industry. This means you don’t need to train us in what you do, for us to deliver results.
  • Industry leading workmanship, better fitting components equals less installation labor.

When a fabricator texts to tell you how well his formed bucket liner fit compared to a competitor’s liner, you know you are making the customer’s life easier.

I also wanted to let you know that I'm EXTREMELY happy with that other piece that you sold me.
It fit beautifully inside that big bucket. You couldn't have poured it in there any better!
It's the best one by far! Thanks.

With JADCO, you understand your products will receive the same level of workmanship and attention to detail on every single order.

Coal Refuse Discharge Screens

Coal refuse discharge screens handle sandstone and shale waste rock after the coal cleaning process. This is a challenging application, combining moderate to heavy impact with very abrasive material.

With JADCO, you understand your products will receive the same level of workmanship and attention to detail on every single order.

JADCO’s QT-PLUS ® delivers greater performance IN YOUR MOST CHALLENGING WEAR APPLICATIONS than the various AR400 steel plates you have used previously.

Being able to create wear resistant steel having the same hardness through the entire thickness of the steel demands you accurately control the alloying chemistry with precise heat treating.

Doesn’t Every Steel Company Make Their Wear Plate Last As Long As JADCO QT-PLUS ®?

The quick answer is No; although the attention to alloy content required at the steel mill is available to anyone. Yet most wear plate distributors choose to reduce the proper quantities and percentages of these essential alloying elements, to get a lower selling price.

When you cut back on these critical alloys, wear life drops, and it is always the customer who suffers.

For over 45 years, JADCO has focused exclusively on delivering consistent, longer life for our customers.

We are able to deliver better results to our customers, because we think differently. How? By strictly focusing on improving your current results.

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, are your profits.

When your usual clad plate gives out, give JADCO a shout!
