Nestled in the industrial heart of Hamilton, Latham Steel has built a reputation for unwavering quality and reliability. We specialise in providing robust solutions for New Zealand’s most demanding sectors, with a particular focus on our premium Alloy Steel Grade 12.9 fasteners. Recognised as the pinnacle of fastener strength, these components are engineered for situations where failure is not an option, offering the integrity and durability that professionals across the country have come to depend on for their critical projects.
The exceptional strength of Grade 12.9 fasteners comes from a specific alloy steel composition, primarily chromium, molybdenum, and nickel, which undergoes a rigorous heat treatment process. This meticulous manufacturing results in a tensile strength that exceeds 1200 MPa, making them significantly stronger than high-tensile Grade 8.8 counterparts. This incredible resilience is matched by excellent resistance to shock and vibration, ensuring they maintain their clamping force and structural integrity under the most strenuous conditions, providing a truly reliable connection.
