Products Description

 

Hexagonal steel, also known as hex steel, is a kind of steel product with a hexagonal cross-section.

Items

Commonly used materials

Carbon Steel

SAE 1045, SAE 1070,65Mn, 45#

Alloy Steel

40Cr, 42CrMo, 35CrMo

Stainless Steel

304, 316, 2205

 

Production Process

 

Hot Rolling: This is one of the most common production methods. First, the steel billet is heated to a high temperature until it reaches a suitable plastic state. Then, it is passed through a series of rolling mills with specific grooves. During the rolling process, the steel billet is gradually deformed and finally takes on the shape of hexagonal steel.

Cold Drawing: Cold drawing is usually used to produce hexagonal steel with higher precision and better surface quality. Based on the hot-rolled hexagonal steel, it is further processed by pulling it through a die with a smaller aperture at room temperature. This process can improve the dimensional accuracy and surface smoothness of the hexagonal steel and enhance its mechanical properties.

 

Application

 

Construction Industry

Mechanical Manufacturing

Automobile Industry

Other Fields: It is also used in some other industries, such as the production of agricultural machinery parts, the manufacturing of railway track fasteners and the construction of communication tower structures.

 

Advantages

 

High Strength and Stability: Due to its regular hexagonal structure, hexagonal steel has excellent mechanical properties, with high strength and good stability in all directions. It can withstand greater external forces and pressures compared to other shaped steels.
Good Processability: Hexagonal steel is easy to process and can be cut, welded, drilled and threaded according to different needs, which provides convenience for its application in various fields.
Space Saving: The hexagonal shape can make more efficient use of space. In some cases where space is limited, using hexagonal steel can reduce the occupied space and improve the space utilization rate.

Package: Wrapped with steel belt and then into bundles.

Productivity: 20000MT/ month
