For decades, Latham Steel in Hamilton has been a cornerstone of New Zealand’s industrial supply, known for reliability right where it counts. We take pride in producing our Alloy Steel Grade 6 Washers to the most exacting standards, ensuring they are ready to meet the tough demands of local industry. From major infrastructure projects to critical machinery maintenance, our team understands that a component this fundamental must be trusted implicitly, which is why quality and precision are at the heart of everything we manufacture and supply from our Hamilton base.
The composition of Alloy Steel Grade 6 provides an excellent balance of strength and durability, primarily achieved through a controlled mix of chromium and molybdenum. This specific alloying gives the washer its notable mechanical properties, including a high tensile strength and impressive resistance to wear and abrasion. It is carefully heat-treated to achieve this robust profile, ensuring it can handle significant clamp loads and resist deformation under high pressure, making it a reliably tough component in any assembly.

The primary use for this washer is in high-strength bolting applications, particularly where flanges must maintain a secure, leak-proof seal under substantial pressure and temperature fluctuations. You’ll find them essential in demanding sectors like petrochemical plant construction, heavy machinery assembly, and major structural projects such as bridges. They are the unsung heroes in these critical joints, providing a dependable bearing surface that distributes load effectively to prevent bolt loosening and protect the connected materials from damage, ensuring the long-term integrity of the entire assembly.
