Aluminium Hexagonal Bars

Aluminium Hexagonal Bars: Precision & Performance for Critical Applications

Aluminium Tubes is your trusted global supplier, exporter, and manufacturer of high-quality Aluminium Hexagonal Bars (Hex Bars). Engineered for superior performance, our hex bars combine the lightweight, corrosion-resistant properties of aluminium with the distinct mechanical advantages of a hexagonal profile.

Our Hex Bars are precisely fabricated to meet the stringent international standards required by the USA and European Countries for critical industrial, aerospace, and automotive applications.

Key Advantages of Aluminium Hex Bars

The six-sided geometry of a hexagonal bar offers unique benefits that set it apart from round or square stock:

• Superior Grip and Torque Transmission: The flat faces are ideal for secure clamping in chucks, reducing setup time in machining, and providing excellent purchase for wrenches. This makes them the perfect choice for fasteners.
• Enhanced Stability: The shape provides high torsional resistance, crucial for parts that transmit rotation or torque.
• Ready for Machining: Our hex bars are popular for use in CNC machining and automatic lathe work, as the shape is already present for creating nuts, bolts, and fittings without additional milling.
• Excellent Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Aluminium’s inherent properties, combined with the bar’s solid structure, ensure high strength without unnecessary weight, which is essential for transport and aerospace sectors.
• Corrosion Resistance: Aluminium’s natural oxide layer protects the material, making our hex bars durable in demanding environments, including marine applications.

Common Alloys and Technical Specifications

We supply Aluminium Hex Bars in a wide range of standard and specialty alloys to ensure you get the exact mechanical properties required for your project.

Applications Across Industries

Our Aluminium Hex Bars are indispensable components in a multitude of high-demand sectors worldwide:

• Fasteners & Fixings: Manufacturing of hex nuts, bolts, studs, and other specialised fixings where a wrench-grip surface is mandatory.
• Aerospace & Defence: High-strength alloys like 7075 are used for critical structural joints, landing gear components, and fastening systems due to their lightweight and robust nature.
• Automotive & Transport: Components for engines, shafts, linkages, and transmission parts where anti-rotation and high torque resistance are vital.
• General Engineering & Machining: Utilized as stock for CNC machining custom parts, couplings, valves, and precision instrument components.
• Marine & Offshore: The superior corrosion resistance of certain alloys (e.g., 5000 series or 6061) makes them perfect for harsh, saltwater environments.

Global Export & Supply Excellence

As an experienced supplier and exporter focusing on the USA and Europe, we understand the need for speed, precision, and certification.

• Precision Manufacturing: Our bars are manufactured using advanced extrusion and cold-drawing processes to achieve tight dimensional tolerances and superior surface finish.
• Quality Assurance: We adhere strictly to international standards such as ASTM, EN, BS, and AMS, providing comprehensive test certificates (e.g., EN 10204/3.1B) for complete quality assurance.
• Custom Capabilities: We offer a vast range of standard sizes (Across Flat – AF) and lengths, along with custom solutions to meet unique project specifications.
