For over three generations, Latham Steel has been a cornerstone of Hamilton’s industrial landscape, proudly supplying robust materials to New Zealand’s trades and manufacturers. We specialise in providing reliable, high-tensile fasteners like our Carbon Steel 8.8 bolts, engineered for demanding applications. Our deep roots in the community mean we understand the unique challenges faced by local projects, offering not just products but dependable support and expertise you can count on.
Carbon Steel 8.8 fasteners strike an excellent balance of strength and flexibility, making them a highly versatile choice. They are composed of medium carbon steel, which is then quenched and tempered to achieve their characteristic properties. This heat treatment process gives them a minimum tensile strength of 800 MPa and a yield strength of 640 MPa. This means they offer considerable resilience under load without being overly brittle, providing reliable performance in a wide array of structural and mechanical situations.
