Bucket List

Is CHROMEWELD 600 On Your Bucket List?

JADCO • Rich F.2024-07-09T12:59:47-04:00

The term, ‘Bucket List’ has come to mean things you want to do or places you want to visit in your lifetime. Whether you have written goals or just personal hopes, everyone has ideas for the many things we desire to accomplish.

When you need to move huge amounts of earth, Drag Line Buckets are your go-to choice for high production earth moving equipment.

Drag Bucket
Dragline buckets are used to excavate large areas. The constant abrasion makes protecting these buckets a priority, and is closely watched.

Ranging in size from 3 cubic yards to over 75 cubic yards per load, the amount of material a drag line bucket can move per shift is massive.

Liner Bucket

Here you can see the bucket insides are lined with CW600 to battle the high stress abrasion encountered with every bucket load.

With high stress grinding and gouging abrasion on every load, protecting the bucket is an ongoing project.


Many of the producers and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM’S) have diligently tested every wear resistant steel available, to see which will keep the equipment performing the longest. The brutal conditions from every drop of the bucket, mean under-performing wear plate gives up fast.

How Did JADCO’s CHROMEWELD ™ 600 Perform In These Tests?

Several Manufacturers Selected CW600 For Their OEM Wear Plate Package.

We would love to list who they are, but our confidential agreements prevent us from saying who they are.

We can say they are the most highly respected names in the industry. Do they know something you do not?

Micro-Etched
Magnified 50 times actual size, this photo micrograph clearly shows the Chromium Carbides. Here they appear like closely packed toothpicks. This prevents sand and other small particles from getting between the carbides, to dramatically slow down your equipment wear.

If CHROMEWELD ™ 600 Is Not Currently On Your Bucket List To Protect Your Equipment… It Should Be.

As the leading manufacturer of Chrome Carbide Overlay (CCO) plate in the USA, you can depend on the results you get from JADCO. Most steel distributors sell foreign made 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 equipment life for our customers.

We pride ourselves to deliver “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.

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.
