Situated in the heart of Hamilton, Latham Steel has built its reputation on a foundation of reliability and local expertise. We take pride in being your trusted New Zealand manufacturer and supplier, specializing in high-strength fastening solutions. Our focus on Alloy Steel Grade 8.8 Fasteners reflects our commitment to providing components that offer the perfect balance of strength and value, supporting the integrity of critical projects across the region with products made to meet the demands of our unique industrial landscape.
The composition of these alloy steel fasteners, primarily carbon and manganese, is carefully controlled to achieve their notable strength. This balance gives Grade 8.8 its characteristic mechanical properties, including a minimum tensile strength of 800 MPa and a yield strength of 640 MPa. This means they can handle significant stress and load before deforming, offering a robust level of performance that stands up well under pressure in a variety of demanding environments.
