Latham Steel, based right here in Hamilton, has built a strong reputation as a trusted local supplier for New Zealand’s heavy industries. We understand the demanding conditions our clients operate in, which is why we are proud to offer ABREX 450 abrasion-resistant steel plates. This high-performance material is a cornerstone for projects where durability is non-negotiable, providing a reliable solution that stands up to intense wear and impact, helping to extend the life of vital equipment and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
The strength of ABREX 450 comes from its specific composition and treatment. It’s a high-carbon, low-alloy steel that achieves its exceptional toughness through a specialized quenching and tempering process. This results in a Brinell hardness of around 450, giving it outstanding resistance to abrasion. Importantly, this hardness is paired with good impact strength, meaning the plates are not only hard but also resilient, able to absorb significant force without cracking, which is crucial for withstanding heavy, punishing loads.
