The failed wear plate in this Bark Bin photo, had been replaced during their last maintenance shutdown.
Unfortunately, what they were promised was “Through Hardened AR400 Wear Plate”, didn’t last even one year.
This unscheduled failure cost them over $100,000 in unplanned downtime, premium time for outside contractor labor for removal, purchasing replacement material and installing the new QT-PLUS wear plate.
What initially looked like a bargain price for wear plate, quickly became their single most expensive option.
Initially they bought AR400 because it was about 10% less expensive. While the vendor did offer to replace the existing materials at no additional cost, they realized the potential for a repeat disaster using the same failed bargain steel, was too great to chance.
Following up an initial error with a foolish reaction, means you lose twice.
Realizing that QT-PLUS ® was the correct material for the project, they were quick to get JADCO involved. The immediate object was to minimize the effects of this breakdown as much as possible.
Given the reality of where you are right now, what is your best course of action?
In this example, JADCO responded to this emergency with ‘All-Hands-On-Deck’. This included shipping with a dedicated delivery service to get them up and running as soon as possible.
JADCO’s QT PLUS DELIVERS GREATER PERFORMANCE IN YOUR MOST CHALLENGING WEAR APPLICATIONS, than the various AR400 steel wear 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. Today most wear plate distributors still choose to reduce these essential alloying elements, to get a lower selling price.
Just like in the above example, when you cut back the correct quantities and percentages of these critical alloys, wear life always suffers.
