Identify Your Outcome

Identify Your Outcome

JADCO • Rich F.2024-09-13T18:03:50-04:00

Working with a wide assortment of customers in a variety of industries, we recognize how critical it is to start properly.

Focus Number One: Identify Your Desired Outcome

Customers using wear resistant steel operate in complex situations each day. You have countless variables coming at you non-stop, from many different directions. Making successful decisions is always difficult.

What is critical is the ability to identify your desired results, then selecting the best materials and methods to achieve your goals.

Aggregate Wash Plant

This aggregate wash plant struggled every year with the cover wearing out long before the season ended. When AR450 didn’t last longer than AR400, they lost faith in wear resistant steel. Working with JADCO, they took the next step in selecting the proper material for this issue.  

What they needed was wear resistant steel able to withstand the slurry constantly blasting onto the underside of the cover.

In the past some people have blamed their initial idea, when they needed to calculate how they executed the plan.

Focus Number Two: Identify The Right Material For Your Environmental Challenges

CHROMEWELD ™ Nb PLUS To The Rescue

CHROMEWELD NB PLUS

This microphotograph shows the small tan colored Niobium Carbide particles surrounded by the larger Chrome Carbides. This combination of carbides delivers the best material to overcome your fine particle abrasion. It is particularly effective against high velocity particles.

CHROMEWELD™ Nb PLUS weld deposit consists of primary chromium carbides combined with niobium carbides in an austenitic matrix.

In comparison to standard Chrome Carbide Overlay plate, CHROMEWELD ™ Nb PLUS contains a more abrasion resistant deposit to traditional chrome carbide plates.

Depending on your specific environment, wear life can be improved by 30-60%. This plate also offers better wear resistance at elevated temperatures due to its enhanced chemistry.

As the leading manufacturer of Chrome Carbide Overlay plate in the USA, you can depend on the results you get from JADCO.  Most steel distributors buy foreign CCO which has little carbide content, and even less quality control.

Our entire CHROMEWELD family of CCO products are made at our headquarters in Harmony, PA, 30 minutes North of Pittsburgh.

JADCO CLAD

To make certain we deliver the longest lasting materials to our customers, JADCO has created our own clad machines. This gives us total control over every aspect of making our industry leading CHROMEWELD overlay plate. 

Never consider the CHROMEWELD ™ family of products as a “One Size Fits All” wear plate. Our customers are always looking to us for continuous improvement, and rely upon JADCO to continue to create new products, to address their specific wear challenges.

This further improves your wear plate performance results by having the Research and Development for these state-of-the-art wear resistant products. Each one is already completed and proven in real world applications, before you ever install them in your equipment.

For over the last 44+ years JADCO has focused exclusively on delivering consistent, longer life for our customers.

We pride ourselves in delivering “Walk Away Results” to you.  This means we are both able to walk away after you install JADCO wear resistant steel products, knowing you will not lose sleep wondering if these wear products will fail in your equipment at the worst possible time.  Not with JADCO.

Now you understand why we are able to deliver better results to our customers.  We think differently by strictly focusing on improving your current results.

At JADCO, we think differently by strictly focusing on your results.  Now you can understand why JADCO delivers better performance results for our customers.

Allow us to help you today by calling 724.452.5252, or email info@jadcomfg.com.
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 standard wear plate gives out, be certain to give JADCO a shout!
