Dispelling Chrome Carbide Myths
Not all Chrome Carbide Overlay wear plate is created equal. JADCO President Sam Anderson dispels common CCO myths and explains how chemistry, manufacturing controls, bead consistency, and proper carbide formation affect wear life, performance, and reliability in demanding applications.
Our Entire Business Was Created To Eliminate Your Bad News
Not all wear resistant steel provides the same hardness through the entire plate. Independent ASTM hardenability testing demonstrates how JADCO QT-PLUS® maintains consistent hardness deeper into the steel, helping deliver longer wear life, better performance, and greater value than commodity AR400 wear plate.
Protect Your Stabilizer Drill
Well drilling stabilizers face constant abrasion as they rotate through rock and soil. JADCO CHROMEWELD™ 600 Chrome Carbide Overlay wear pads provide a longer-lasting alternative to traditional hardfacing and AR400, helping reduce wear, simplify installation, and extend stabilizer service life.
Improve Your Wear Plate ROI
Improving wear plate ROI means looking beyond the initial purchase price and focusing on cost per month, cost per ton, and total equipment life. JADCO QT-PLUS® wear resistant steel delivers longer service life, better fit, and greater long-term value than ordinary commodity wear plate.
Wear Plate Formed To Your Needs
JADCO QT-PLUS® wear resistant steel can be formed, rolled, and machined to fit demanding equipment applications. With high-capacity press brakes, precision tooling, and experienced operators, JADCO produces accurately formed wear liners and replacement parts designed to fit correctly and deliver longer service life.
For Longer Equipment Life, Start with a Steel Checkup
onger equipment life starts with understanding what is happening inside your wear resistant steel. JADCO combines root cause analysis, proper alloy chemistry, and precise heat treatment to help keep equipment running longer, with QT-PLUS® engineered for consistent hardness, toughness, and dependable wear performance.
Creating Your Wear Plate Action Plan
Creating a wear plate action plan helps maintenance teams identify chronic problems, prioritize limited resources, and focus on the applications that create the greatest downtime and expense. JADCO helps turn equipment history and performance data into practical strategies for longer wear life and improved reliability.
Why Higher-Priced Wear Plate Can Be the Lowest-Cost Choice
The lowest-priced wear plate is not always the lowest-cost choice. JADCO QT-PLUS® wear resistant steel delivers longer service life, fewer replacements, reduced downtime, and better lifecycle value, helping lower your true cost per month, cost per ton, and cost per shutdown.
Coal Prep Applications
Coal preparation equipment faces relentless abrasion and impact. JADCO helps coal operations extend equipment life and reduce downtime with proven wear solutions, including QT-PLUS® scalping screens and CHROMEWELD™ Chrome Carbide Overlay for chutes, transfer points, and other demanding applications.
