Latham Steel stands as a cornerstone of Hamilton’s industrial landscape, proudly supplying robust fastening solutions to New Zealand’s builders and manufacturers. Our commitment to quality shines through in products like our Alloy Steel Grade 8.8 bolts, engineered to meet the rigorous demands of both local and national projects. We understand that the integrity of your work hinges on the reliability of every component, which is why we provide fasteners you can trust, backed by generations of expertise right here in the Waikato.
The composition of Grade 8.8 bolts is a careful balance, primarily consisting of medium carbon steel that is quenched and tempered to achieve its notable strength. This specific heat treatment process is key, resulting in a minimum tensile strength of 800 MPa and a yield strength of 640 MPa. This combination means these bolts offer an excellent resistance to stretching and snapping under heavy loads, providing a dependable blend of durability and toughness for a wide array of structural and mechanical applications.
