Opinions vs. Experience

At a recent meeting, I commented that one of the participants certainly had a strong opinion. A friend replied…

“Opinions are like belly-buttons; everybody has one.”

After a pause he delivered one of the most profound statements I’d ever heard:

“Don’t Listen To People With An Opinion…
Listen To People With Experience.”

As we have posted several times in the past on JADCO’s ‘Wear Plate Wednesday’ blog posts,

There Are No Industry Standards For Wear Resistant Steel.

Nearly all wear plate vendors claim their wear plate is “Through Hardened;” yet most never come close.
When your worn-out hardened steel looks more like ripples on beach sand, it is an easy bet their hardness was only on the surface.

Above you can see exactly where the rocks have been moving along this plate on an aggregate screen. Once the 0.020” hardened surface failed, the softer insides acted more like the crème filling in an Oreo^® Cookie.
Neither one can stand up to abrasion or impact.

Lately it seems there are even more people and companies popping up than ever, all trying to convince you to try their wear plate. And nearly all of them finish their sales pitch with…

“And it lasts as just long as QT-PLUS ^® , for less money.”

Riiiiiiiight….

And Everyone Has The Opinion That Their Steel Is The Best You Will Ever Use.

Once Again – Don’t Listen To People With An Opinion, Listen To People With Experience.

One Thing You Can Trust, JADCO QT-PLUS ® Has Consistently Delivered Longer Life For Our Customers, For Over 43 Years. Trust Our Experience, You Will Not Go Wrong.

As we prepare to start 2024, there are more unknowns in the world than ever before. This you can depend on, year after year:

JADCO’s QT PLUS ^® delivers greater performance IN YOUR MOST CHALLENGING WEAR APPLICATIONS than the various AR400 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.

Does Every Steel Company Make Their Wear Plate Last As Long As JADCO QT PLUS?

The quick answer is No; although the attention to detail required at the steel mill in Pennsylvania 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 the last 43+ years JADCO has focused exclusively on delivering consistent, longer equipment life for our customers.

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