Available in a variety of grades ranging from 80 to 140 ksi, TruStrength high-strength steel plate is melted and manufactured in the U.S. and meets ASTM chemical and mechanical properties. It can be welded, is formable and ready to be fabricated.
Our TruFlat® technology, along with other inherent TruStrength properties, ensures that our high-strength plate excels in downstream fabrication processes. Our state-of-the-art heat treating, quench and tempering process reduces and relieves the stresses induced during manufacturing, ensuring the parts remain flat when cut. With a superior surface quality, the smooth finish plate is ready for exposed or painted applications.
Applications
Our high-strength steel plate is an integral part of products in industries that call for a high-performance steel solution. TruStrength high-strength steel plate products have various uses and applications, but primarily lend their strength to the transportation, DOT and construction fields, including:
- Oilfield rigs
- Rail cars
- Heavy haul trailers
- Cranes
- Lift trucks
