For over two generations, Latham Steel has been a cornerstone of Hamilton’s industrial community, proudly supplying top-tier materials to New Zealand’s leading workshops and manufacturers. Our commitment to quality and local expertise shines through in products like our Alloy Steel F1 bars. We understand the demands Kiwi industries face, which is why we provide reliable, high-performance steel that you can count on for even the most challenging projects, backed by the personal service a local family business is known for.
Alloy Steel F1 is specifically formulated with a precise blend of chromium and molybdenum, which gives it an excellent balance of strength, toughness, and wear resistance. After proper heat treatment, these bars achieve superior mechanical properties, including a high tensile strength and good ductility. This combination allows components made from F1 to withstand significant stress and impact loads without fracturing, making it a dependable choice for critical parts that must perform reliably under pressure.
