Based in the industrial heart of Hamilton, New Zealand, Latham Steel has built a reputation for supplying robust solutions tailored to the toughest working environments. We understand that durability is non-negotiable, which is why we are proud to offer Abrasion Resistant Hardox 450 Pipes. This product line is specifically designed for industries where equipment faces constant wear and tear, providing a reliable defence that significantly extends the life of your machinery and reduces costly downtime for our customers across the country.
The strength of these pipes comes from the specialised Hardox 450 steel, known for its exceptional balance of hardness and toughness. With a Brinell hardness of 450, the material offers superior resistance to abrasive forces, yet it retains enough structural integrity to withstand impacts without cracking. This combination is crucial because it means the pipes don’t just resist surface scratching; they maintain their strength and shape under punishing conditions, ensuring reliable performance over a much longer service life compared to standard steel tubing.
