TruWEAR - Abrasion
Resistant Steel

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.

 

TruWEAR - ABRASION RESISTANT FLAT BAR

Our abrasion-resistant steel AR400 flat bar is heat-treated for use in construction, manufacturing and structural applications and is suitable for projects and applications that require a combination of highstrength, toughness and abrasion resistance.

As a mill-rolled product, our TruWEAR AR400 Flat Bar has a smooth edge that helps ensure straightness, safer handling and overall product consistency, and features both a combination of high abrasion resistance and weldability.

Applications

Our abrasion resistant flat bar has uses and applications across multiple industries. It is often used in wear strips and end-use products that need to endure repetitive movement and wear. Common industries and applications for TruWEAR AR400 flat bar:

• Manufacturing
• Bulk material handling
