Latham Steel is a trusted name in Hamilton’s industrial landscape, supplying New Zealand’s critical sectors with robust components built to endure. Our specialty lies in Alloy Steel F11 Forged Fittings, products forged from a core belief in Kiwi resilience and craftsmanship. We understand that the demands of local industry require more than just a product; they require a reliable partner. That’s why we are committed to providing fittings that deliver unwavering performance, ensuring the integrity and safety of the systems that power our communities and drive our economy forward.
The backbone of these fittings is a specific chromium-molybdenum alloy composition, designed to offer a remarkable balance of high tensile and yield strength. This inherent toughness is further enhanced by excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation, particularly under elevated temperatures. The forging process itself refines the steel’s grain structure, resulting in a component with superior mechanical properties compared to cast alternatives. This means a fitting that can handle significant pressure and stress, providing a dependable, long-lasting solution for demanding environments.
