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.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
Abrasive materials can quickly wear through conventional piping and lead to costly failures. JADCO CHROMEWELD™ FLOW is a chromium carbide overlay piping system engineered to extend pipe life, resist severe abrasion, and improve reliability in demanding material-handling applications.
A514 and T-1® steels are designed primarily for structural strength, not maximum wear resistance. JADCO QT-PLUS® is engineered specifically for severe abrasion applications, delivering greater hardness, consistent through-hardness, and longer wear life in demanding mining, aggregate, and earthmoving equipment.
Choosing the right wear plate should not be complicated. JADCO simplifies wear resistant steel by identifying the true cause of your wear challenges, explaining your options clearly, and matching the right CHROMEWELD™ solution to your specific abrasion, impact, temperature, and material-handling application.
JADCO headed to CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 in Las Vegas with proven wear solutions for asphalt, concrete, aggregate, and heavy equipment applications. We hope you visited Booth C-22504 to explore CHROMEWELD™ 600, CCO wear plate, and other products engineered to reduce downtime and extend equipment life.

We are always talking with our customers about the wear and impact challenges they face in doing business.
Each industry has unique challenges to overcome when it comes to moving and manipulating products. While our experienced sales and fabrication teams have seen alot, they have not seen it all. Now, with supply chain issues, there are even more challenges to overcome, keeping machines running optimally , and in some cases, running at all. Is there something your team is having trouble finding?
If so, talk with a JADCO professional.
