Latham Steel, a reliable manufacturer and supplier based in Hamilton, New Zealand, specializes in high-quality Nicrodur 500 sheets and plates that are built to withstand extreme abrasion and high-impact conditions. This wear-resistant steel grade, known as Nicrodur 500, is carefully quenched and tempered to perform in the toughest industrial environments. Latham Steel guarantees precise dimensions, outstanding surface quality, and strict compliance with international standards. These plates offer remarkable hardness, a long lifespan, and consistent mechanical strength, making them perfect for applications in mining, construction, earthmoving, and heavy material handling. With Nicrodur 500, you can count on durability, less frequent maintenance, and cost-effective performance in abrasive settings.
Nicrodur 500 steel is crafted with a blend of carbon, manganese, chromium, molybdenum, nickel, and other elements that enhance its hardness and wear resistance. It typically boasts a nominal hardness of around 500 HBW, achieved through advanced quenching and tempering techniques. This material provides exceptional tensile strength, impressive impact toughness, and strong resistance to cracking under heavy loads. Its refined microstructure ensures consistent hardness throughout the plate. While it’s incredibly hard, Nicrodur 500 still allows for good weldability and formability when proper preheating and controlled fabrication methods are used.
