Reliability Engineers and Maintenance Planner’s Wear Resistant Steel Resource

JADCO • Rich F.2026-02-17T09:25:16-05:00

Major industries now rotate their engineers the responsibilities faster than ever.

Last week you were finally feeling comfortable with the responsibilities for Electrical & Instrumentation equipment.

This week you have been thrust into a new role with little familiarity. Today you need to resolve a wear issue where production has struggled with for years.

You don’t have to be a wear plate expert; you just need to know who to call for the correct answers, when your next problem rears its ugly head.

Baby Boomer engineers continue to retire in record numbers, taking with them three decades of experience you can never download.

While new engineering college graduates are inserted into areas of responsibility with little to no real-world proficiency.

FIRST OF ALL – DON’T PANIC, WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED

Reliability Engineers and Maintenance Planners have identified JADCO Mfg., Inc. as their preferred wear resistant steel partner, to combat your ongoing wear challenges, FOR OVER FORTY FIVE YEARS.

Wear Plate Gambler

Selecting wear resistant steel should never be a gamble. Your choices must be strategic and well planned. At the same time you are expected to elevate the equipment capabilities to the next level.

We Understand The Stresses You Are Under:

• You have tremendous responsibility to improve your processes and increase equipment up time; yet you must continue to reduce costs.

• You are overly cautious, having been previously burned by pushy vendors recommending the wrong materials for your unique application(s). JADCO operates with your best interests in mind. WE WILL NEVER MAKE YOU LOOK FOOLISH TO YOUR CO-WORKERS.

• You must make sound decisions; and deliver results, so you look like a hero for fixing issues they have struggled with for decades.

Never take unnecessary risks by trusting untrained hard sell vendors. They push you to buy the lowest priced option in standard size plate, to empty your wallet.

Bookmarking the Page will save you money in the future.

Here Are The Resources You Will Find At Your Fingertips Immediately:

JADCOPEDIA – This short “encyclopedia” clarifies  the reference terminology used in the steel industry, to help you clearly understand what you need to know.

JADCO X-PLAINER – Watch a few videos, and see some charts… It’s your “How-To” section TO PREVENT WEAR PLATE PROBLEMS, before they start.

CASE STUDIES – See how our clients have obtained significant real-world savings, by installing the toughest impact and abrasion wear resistant steel on the planet.

STEEL WEIGHT CALCULATOR – simply enter the thickness, length and width of your steel plate, and it gives you the weight of the steel. This allows you to make critical decisions when considering different thicknesses of wear plate.

DOWNLOADS – here you can download the literature of all JADCO products to determine which is best for your specific application.

NEWSLETTER SIGN UP – We won’t flood your inbox with emails, sell your information, or deliver useless information. Our JADCO JOURNAL newsletter will be delivered to your inbox every other month, just 6 times a year. Signing up is quick, easy and free.

GALLERY – Check out just a few of the many projects we’ve completed, in a variety of industries. No one wants to be a guinea pig and test untried concepts when your production is at stake. WITH JADCO, WE DELIVER PROVEN WEAR SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR EQUIPMENT.

Together we can strategically:

• Identify repeated wear issues, so we both can look at your challenge with new eyes to recognize the root cause(s) of your wear instead of continuing to treat the symptoms. It is seldom one big thing, or you would have rectified that long ago. It is often 2 or 3 minor issues that gang up to cause a major headache.

• Together we can evaluate your existing performance data on your current and previous material results. This review will allow us to spot trends to determine better solutions and avoid potential pitfalls.

• Review alternate material choices and determine better options, than what you have utilized previously.

• Co-workers are often reluctant to change from a long time routine. We can assist with application education for decision makers and the production team by sharing successful results from similar applications in your industry.

JADCO QT-PLUS ® delivers greater wear performance IN YOUR APPLICATIONS…more than the AR400 or similar wear steel you have used previously.

Why Doesn’t Every Steel Company Make Their Products Last As Long As JADCO QT-PLUS ?

This attention to detail from the steel mill in the USA, is available to anyone. Yet most steel wear plate distributors choose to limit the proper quantities of these essential elements, looking for a lower price.

They are planning to sell you more of the same in a few months, robbing you of uptime and greater profits.

QT Plus

For the last 45 years JADCO has focused exclusively on delivering consistent, longer equipment life for our customers.

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.

Doesn’t Every Steel Company Make Their Wear Plate Last As Long As JADCO QT-PLUS ®?

The quick answer is No; although the attention to alloy content required at the steel mill 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.

We are able to deliver better results to our customers, because we think differently. How? By strictly focusing on improving your current results.

Allow us to help you today by emailing us at info@jadcomfg.com or calling (724) 452-5252.

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 flat back elbows give out, give JADCO a shout!
