From the industrial heart of Hamilton, Latham Steel has built its reputation on providing robust and reliable steel solutions for New Zealand’s toughest projects. We are proud to be a leading supplier of 500 Brinell Hardness Number sheets and plates, a product line that stands as a testament to our commitment to quality and durability. This high-strength steel is engineered to meet the extreme demands of industries where resilience against wear and impact is not just an advantage, but an absolute necessity.
The exceptional strength of this steel is achieved through a carefully balanced composition and advanced thermal processing, resulting in a uniform hardness of 500 BHN throughout the material. This consistent hardness directly translates to superior mechanical properties, including an impressive yield strength and remarkable resistance to abrasion. It’s this powerful combination that allows components made from our 500 Brinell plates to maintain their integrity and perform reliably under the most punishing conditions, significantly extending their service life.
