ABRASION RESISTANT STEEL THAT ENDURES IT ALL
In steel applications where abrasion resistance and toughness are important, TruWEAR’s superior durability and strength will extend the equipment service life even in the most demanding environments. Melted and manufactured in the U.S., CMC Impact Metals’ abrasion resistant steel delivers the hardness and toughness to keep your equipment productive and in service for years to come.
Hardness and toughness
CMC Impact Metals’ advanced heat treating, quench and tempering process produces a superior hardness combined with high strength that results in a lightweight, strong and wear-resistant steel capable of withstanding harsh conditions.
TruWEAR’s chemical structure and mechanical properties provide for a combination of wear resistance and durability that sets it apart from other types of steel. Its durability and toughness allows for heavy impact without permanent deformation or cracking when stressed or impacted beyond its yield point.
Formability and weldability
TruWEAR’s chemical composition, along with the heat-treating, quench and tempering processes creates steel with ductility that allows for formability for most TruWEAR products. Manufacturers and fabricators can use most conventional, manual or automated welding processes when working with TruWEAR steel products. Our dedicated team of support experts can provide additional information on any forming requirements or instructions for welding.
