Wear Plate

Do You Want Longer Equipment Life Or Do You Just Need Wear Plate?

JADCO • Rich F.2023-10-30T14:52:22-04:00

The real difference depends your level of NEED.

There is a huge difference between the following two scenarios:

  • (1) You stop at the sporting goods store and take a few minutes to compare inflatable rafts for a river trip with friends in three weeks.
  • (2) You are looking for a life raft when your ship is sinking fast, 50 miles off shore!

In the first scenario, you have the luxury of time to select which raft is most durable, at the best price, consider online reviews, ask friends what they use, etc.

In the second, you will hang onto anything that floats.

Wear Plate Patch

Throwing one patch over another with whatever steel is laying around is not the correct method to fix your biggest wear challenges.  Install the correct material to control your wear, so your equipment will be more productive and profitable for many more years to come.

JADCO Offers The Greatest Selection Of Long Lasting Wear Resistant Steel To Handle Your Biggest Wear Issues.

Which Of These Statements Is Most Accurate?

  • • Your current application has mostly impact along with abrasion. Often the best option for better results here is QT-PLUS® to battle both types of wear.
  • • Or is your challenge from fine particles that wear away anything in its path? Here JADCO will ask a few more questions to narrow down the best product for your unique wear needs.
LEARN ABOUT QT PLUS®

Regardless Which Type Of Wear You Struggle With, JADCO Has Your Solution

In the above photo, their cyclone wear headache was focused primarily in one area. The fine particles in high velocity air flow, made their standard AR450 wear plate perform like mild steel. This means it failed rapidly in action; over and over again.

It didn’t matter how often they threw another patch onto the cyclone, they were using the wrong material for this application.

Nearly all the AR type steels claim that AR stands for Abrasion Resistant steel. If you are comparing it to mild steel that may be accurate, but there are far better material choices available.

Most AR steels also claim they are through hardened; yet very few actually have the same hardness throughout the thickness of the steel. In fact the majority are no harder in the middle than mild steel.

 

When Your Production Is Going Down In Flames, Don’t Grab Onto The Wrong Life Raft

To conquer your abrasion wear challenges, don’t simply grab whatever is lying around.

Go for the gold, with JADCO’s CHROMEWELD ™ 600…

LEARN ABOUT CHROMEWELD 600


“Show your wear problem who is in charge.”

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

As the leading manufacturer of CCO 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.

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 any sleep wondering if these wear products in your equipment will fail at the worst possible time. Not with JADCO.

For over the last 43+ years JADCO has focused exclusively on delivering consistent, longer life for our customers.

Allow us to help you improve your hardfacing results 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.
