I Feel Helpless
JADCO • Rich F.2026-06-19T14:13:18-04:00“I feel helpless. I feel like people are blaming me.”
After overhearing that comment between two engineers, I paused for a few moments before entering the conference room. It is not unusual for engineers to become stressed under the pressure of making difficult decisions for their equipment.
When your best option turns out to be the wrong solution, there is no place to hide.
Helpless Is A Horrible Place To Be.
Being Blamed For Failed Items Out Of Your Control, Is Even Worse.
This wear plate has required numerous welding repairs for the cracks in the steel.
It is easy to make wear resistant steel hard.
Making it resist impact and abrasion, separates the industry leaders from the peddlers. Doing it properly requires precise alloy and heat treatment control. JADCO has been leading the wear resistant steel industry since 1980.
How Can You Avoid Feeling Helpless?

You can see the highly polished plates on the side of this jackladder deck. It is an indicator of high Nickel content, which allows it to take significant impact without cracking. This is why most papermill woodyards specify QT-PLUS ® in their most challenging wear applications.
Which Wear Application Causes You The Greatest Stress?
JADCO’s QT-PLUS ® delivers greater performance IN YOUR MOST CHALLENGING WEAR APPLICATIONS than the various AR type 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.
