Overview

About this mild steel hexagon bar

The Mild Steel Hexagon Mill Finish 1/2" AF offers good formability, excellent machinability, and structural reliability, making it an ideal choice for industrial and construction projects requiring resilient metal components.

Material: Constructed from mild steel, this hexagonal bar combines strength with affordability, making it a preferred choice for a wide range of industrial uses.

Formability: With good formability, this steel hexagon can be easily shaped and molded to meet specific project requirements, facilitating efficient fabrication processes.

Weldability: While its weldability is rated as poor, careful welding techniques can still achieve satisfactory results. However, the presence of lead in the EN1A LEADED grade may require specialized welding procedures.

Machinability: Renowned for its excellent machinability, this steel hexagon allows for precise machining operations with minimal tool wear, enhancing productivity and reducing machining time.

Shape: Featuring a hexagonal cross-sectional profile, this steel bar is characterized by six straight sides and six angles, providing geometric stability and versatility for various applications.

Corrosion Resistance: With poor corrosion resistance, protective measures such as coatings or regular maintenance may be necessary to prevent rust and corrosion, especially in corrosive environments.

Finish: The mill finish denotes a raw surface texture, offering a rugged appearance while preserving the steel's natural integrity. This finish is suitable for applications prioritizing functionality over aesthetics.

Grade: Manufactured to the EN1A LEADED grade standard, this steel hexagon adheres to European specifications, ensuring consistent quality and performance.

Dimensions: With a width of 1/2" or 12.7mm across the flat sides, this hexagonal bar provides precise measurements, facilitating accurate fitting and integration into various assemblies.

Weight/Metre: Weighing 1.14 kg per meter, this steel hexagon offers a sturdy and durable option for structural and support applications, optimizing material usage while maintaining structural integrity.
