From the heart of Hamilton’s industrial landscape, Latham Steel has forged a reputation for dependable quality and local expertise. As a trusted manufacturer and supplier, we take pride in producing our Carbon Steel EN-42 Bars to the most exacting standards, ensuring a reliable foundation for New Zealand’s critical manufacturing and engineering projects. Our commitment is to provide robust materials that power local industry, backed by the personalised service and technical support that comes from being a key part of the community we serve.
The EN-42 grade is a high-quality carbon steel known for its excellent balance of strength and durability. Its composition, primarily iron and carbon with manganese, gives it reliable mechanical properties, including good tensile strength and impressive hardness once properly heat-treated. This combination makes it exceptionally tough and wear-resistant, capable of withstanding significant stress and heavy loads. It’s this dependable performance under demanding conditions that makes it a preferred choice for components where failure is not an option.

You’ll commonly find EN-42 Bars hard at work in the most demanding parts of machinery and heavy equipment. They are the material of choice for essential components like gears, shafts, axles, and studs where high tensile strength and resistance to wear are critical. Beyond industrial machinery, its toughness makes it suitable for agricultural implements, automotive parts, and a wide range of high-stress engineering applications. Essentially, wherever you need a component that must endure constant force and friction, EN-42 provides the rugged, reliable backbone for the task.
