From the industrial heart of Hamilton, New Zealand, Latham Steel has built a reputation for strength and reliability. We are proud to supply our robust Armour 500T Sheet and Plates, a product born from local expertise and a commitment to superior quality. This high-strength steel is engineered for the most demanding environments, offering exceptional durability for projects where resilience is non-negotiable. We understand that choosing the right material is critical, which is why Armour 500T stands as a trusted solution for builders, fabricators, and engineers across the country and beyond.
The Armour 500T is a quenched and tempered alloy steel, meticulously processed to achieve its remarkable toughness. Its composition is specifically balanced to deliver a minimum yield strength of 500 MPa, providing a significant resistance to force and impact. This treatment also grants the material excellent abrasion resistance, meaning it stands up well to wear and tear over time. Despite its incredible strength, it maintains good formability, allowing for practical fabrication into the specific components your project requires, combining brute force with workable versatility.
