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.
