Steel Hexagonal Bars

Steel hexagonal bars are a specialist profile that provide an easy-to-grip shape. Their six-sided design makes them ideal for applications where torque resistance, alignment, and mechanical performance are needed.

Why Choose a Steel Hexagonal Bar?

They are widely used in manufacturing, engineering, and fabrication projects where secure fitting, anti-rotation properties, and uniform geometry are required.

Hex tubing steel is particularly useful in applications such as drive shafts, tooling, and custom components where the shape plays a key role in performance.

Shape-Driven Performance

Enhanced Grip and Fit: The flat sides of steel hexagonal bars provide a secure hold and precise alignment, making them easier to handle, machine, and fit into assemblies where accuracy is critical.

Torsional Strength: The unique geometry helps resist twisting and deformation under load, making hex tubing steel a reliable choice for torque-bearing components.

Versatile Fabrication: Suitable for drilling, tapping, machining, and welding, hexagonal tubes can be adapted to meet a wide variety of design and engineering requirements.

Aesthetic Appeal: The distinctive six-sided profile adds a clean, geometric look, making it equally useful in architectural, decorative, or design-led applications.

FAQs

What sizes of hexagonal bars do you supply?
We offer a range of across-flat measurements, wall thicknesses, and lengths. Custom dimensions can be cut to order to match your project specifications. Fill out our form with the products you need and a member of the team will get back to you with a free quote.

Options typically include mild steel for general fabrication, stainless steel (304, 316) for corrosion resistance, and galvanised steel for outdoor durability.

Yes. Mild steel hex tubes are easy to weld, drill, tap, and machine. Stainless steel may require specialist tooling but is equally suitable for fabrication.
It is produced by cold drawing or rolling steel through shaped dies to achieve a precise six-sided profile, then cut and finished to the required length.

Our bars comply with relevant EN, ASTM, or BS standards, and mill test certificates (MTC) can be provided for verification of chemical composition and mechanical properties.

Hexagonal bars offer flat sides for grip and torque resistance, making them better suited for fittings and assemblies where anti-rotation is important. Round bars distribute stress evenly and are often preferred for pressurised or rotational applications.

Weight is calculated using the formula: Across Flats × Wall Thickness × Length × Density. For steel, density is typically 7.85 g/cm³.
Some projects require hollow tubing for reduced weight, while others use solid hex bars for maximum strength. We can supply both depending on your needs.
Yes, the flat sides make them suitable for tapping and threading, commonly used in fastening systems or mechanical couplings.
Mild steel hexagonal tubes can be bent with appropriate tooling, but the six-sided profile may require specialised equipment to maintain shape during forming.
