Impact and Abrasion Resistant Plate
A superior steel designed for moderate to high abrasion and impact applications.
Due to the heat-treating processes and chemistry JADCO 400 and JADCO 500 yields a lengthier service to the end user than a mild steel. With a low carbon and alloy content its properties allow for great capabilities weldability and forming. This product is popular because it does lend to being a more cost-effective material option.
JADCO 400
JADCO: 400 is a superior carbon-based impact and abrasion resistant wear plate.
JADCO: 400 provides a longer life than mild steel due to the heat-treating process and chemistry. The low carbon and alloy content allow for ease of weldability and forming.
JADCO: 400 is an excellent choice for a low-cost impact and abrasion resistant plate.
Fabrication Information
Cutting: JADCO: 400 is easily flame cut with oxyacetylene or plasma. Hardening will occur at the edge of the cut, therefore it’s beneficial to pre-heat before flame cutting (250°F) or allow enough stock to get below the hardened edge. Note: At JADCO, high-definition plasma is used to burn, and the material is under water to decrease distortion of the heat-affected area. When preheating the plate, do not heat directly with a torch, use indirect heat to heat evenly over the entire plate.Machining: JADCO: 400 is accepting to conventional equipment for universal machining, which includes, and is not limited to countersinking, counterboring, drilling and milling.
Forming: JADCO: 400™ is easily flame cut with oxyacetylene or plasma. Hardening will occur at the edge of the cut, therefore it’s beneficial to pre-heat before flame cutting (250°F) or allow enough stock to get below the hardened edge. Note: At JADCO, high-definition plasma is used to burn, and the material is under water to decrease distortion of the heat-affected area. When preheating the plate, do not heat directly with a torch, use indirect heat to heat evenly over the entire plate.
Welding: JADCO 400™ has a low carbon content which allows ease of weldability. When welding JADCO 400™ it is recommended to use JADCO FUSION™ Universal, a high strength, work hardened stainless steel that can be welded to dissimilar metals, designed for harsh working environments. Typical low hydrogen rods/wires such as E7018 or E8018 weld rod, E71T flux core wire and ER70S solid wire can also be used. Pre-heat to 250°F through thickness within 3 inches of welding zone before welding. Slow cool welds with blankets. Welds in restraint should be avoided.

JADCO 500
JADCO: 500 provides a longer life than mild steel due to the heat-treating process and chemistry. The low carbon and alloy content allow for ease of weldability and forming.
JADCO: 500 is an excellent choice for a low-cost impact and abrasion resistant plate.
