Ethics In An Uncertain World
JADCO • Rich F.2025-05-10T08:04:13-04:00Do you really know who you’re buying from?
Beware…Wear Steel Predator’s are out there.
Todays political and economic climate is more unsettled than any time in the past 50 years. No matter who won the election, it seems campaign promises are conveniently forgotten the day after the election. Promises, promises, promises. Who Can We Trust?
In the Wear Steel Business, Who Can You Trust To Deliver Longer Wear Life?
Attention to detail is a hallmark of JADCO products. You can be certain when your parts arrive, they are ready to install without having to spend time “making them fit”.
Unfortunately, in the wear resistant steel industry, several suppliers are not ethical about pressuring you to buy their products. You need to beware of them trying to pick your pocket. They are not concerned if your results are favorable, as long as they get a sale.
At JADCO We Are Your Partner, Not A Peddler
We don’t shovel hype or push empty promises we cannot deliver. We are proud to work ethically every single day, striving to get deliver better results for our customers.
When companies have no integrity, you never know what you will get. This is why JADCO provides you with the actual factory certifications for our QT-PLUS ®. No one else does that. They are happy to print confusing data on their letterhead which may or may not be from the product you are receiving.
With JADCO, you know exactly what you get every time. This way each project can be traced to the individual steel plate, from any specific production run at the steel mill. This is why JADCO is confident you will not find better wear resistant steel for your most challenging industry applications.
JADCO’s QT-PLUS ® delivers greater performance IN YOUR MOST CHALLENGING WEAR APPLICATIONS than the various AR450 steel plates you have previously used.
Check out our QT-PLUS…you’ll be glad you did.
We often talk about through hardness with QT-PLUS ®. This chart shows results from an ASTM A255 independent laboratory test for hardness starting at the surface, shown at 0”, testing deeper into the steel in ¼” increments below the surface. This is what happens when your steel wears. How wear resistant is the steel when partially worn? This is why you experience accelerated wear once it gets through the first ¼” of material.
This ‘Competitor’ also claims their wear plate is ‘Through Hardened’. That certainly doesn’t seem to be the case here, while QT-PLUS® delivers exactly the same hardness from top to bottom. Which will you choose to protect your equipment investment?
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 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.
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!
