Cold drawn hexagonal bar is useful when the final part needs wrench flats or a hex-shaped body. Instead of machining a hex shape from round stock, buyers can start with hex bar to reduce material removal and improve production efficiency for fasteners, fittings, couplings and custom hardware.
- Hexagonal bar is commonly used for nuts, couplings, threaded fittings, spacers and machined hardware bodies.
- Cold drawing improves across-flat consistency, surface finish and section control compared with rougher stock.
- Starting from hex bar can reduce machining time when the final component already needs a hex profile.
- Common downstream processes include cutting, drilling, tapping, turning, chamfering, threading and surface treatment.
- Material can be selected from carbon steel, medium carbon steel, stainless steel or customized grades according to use.
- For plated or galvanized parts, thread fit and coating thickness should be considered during design review.
- Hex bar can also be used for non-standard fastener blanks made according to buyer drawings.
- RFQs should include across-flat size, length, material grade, tolerance, quantity, finish and final part application.
