Why TruWear
Built to withstand extreme wear
TruWear® abrasion-resistant steel is engineered to extend equipment service life in high-wear environments, helping reduce downtime and replacement costs.
Hardness balanced with toughness
Advanced heat-treating, quench, and tempering processes deliver a combination of hardness and strength that resists abrasion while absorbing impact without cracking or permanent deformation.
Lightweight strength that lasts
TruWear’s optimized chemistry and mechanical properties provide exceptional wear resistance without unnecessary weight, supporting efficient, high-performing equipment designs.
Fabrication-ready performance
Designed with ductility in mind, TruWear supports forming and compatibility with most conventional manual or automated welding processes.
Made in the USA
Melted and manufactured in the United States, TruWear supports domestic sourcing requirements and reliable supply for industrial and infrastructure applications.

CMC Impact Metals sets the standard for flatness on light gauge quenched and tempered products with our state-of-the-art process. As a result, we guarantee a flatness of 1/4 ASTM A6 on TruWear 500 plate products .300” and thinner. Achieving true flatness on light gauge quench & tempered steel plate has always been a challenge due to the violent forces of the heat-treating process and the high strength of the steel. At CMC Impact Metals, we’re setting the standard for flatness.
Our innovative heat-treating processes, combined with our mechanical systems, enable us to produce an industry-leading flatness product with our TruFlat® guarantee.
CMC Impact Metals sets the standard for flatness on light gauge quenched and tempered products with our state-of-the-art process. As a result, we guarantee a flatness of ¼ ASTM A6 on most of our plate products .300” and thinner.
