YOUR GREATEST VALUE IN WEAR RESISTANT STEEL TODAY
JADCO2023-01-04T15:27:58-05:00Over 42 years ago, Jim Davison worked directly with the steel mill’s leading metallurgist to develop the best performing, most cost-effective wear resistant steel available. Jim had been in the wear steel business for some time when he decided to create his own company. He focused immediately on two things:
- In order to benefit his loyal customers, he needed a steel that out-performed what they had been using for some time.
- The extended life and increased value of the new steel, must surpass the difference beyond the price they paid.
After several tests, the end result was QT-Plus ®, the leading wear resistant steel product available in the market; from 1980 through today.

Developed in 1980, QT-Plus ® has been improved several times in the past decade. JADCO utilizes the latest developments in steel-making to assure our customers they receive the best products and performance results available.

JADCO QT-Plus ® is very user friendly. You can easily cut, weld and form QT-Plus ® to combat the greatest wear challenges in your most challenging applications.
JADCO’s QT PLUS ® delivers greater performance IN YOUR 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 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 just to get a lower price.
For over the last 42 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.
