Features and Benefits

Stainless steel hex bars have a hexagonal cross-section, making them especially useful in manufacturing and construction applications. Learn more about their distinct advantages below.

Strength and Stability

The hexagonal profile gives the steel bar additional strength. Stainless steel bars are more durable, stay in place for a more stable long-term installation, and outperform other geometries.

Increased Resistance to Bending

The hexagonal shape increases the moment of inertia in stainless steel. As a result, these bars are much harder to bend and less likely to curve or weaken under pressure.

Certain applications will find this resistance particularly handy. Construction teams can rely on hex bars for long-term structural support in buildings. Manufacturers can create longer-lasting load-bearing systems.

Improved Grip and Torque Transmission

Round bars are slippery, and angled surfaces provide a much more stable grip. Compared to rectangular or square bars, hexagon bars give a better gripping surface for wrenches, fastening tools, and other equipment. Operators and technicians can tightly fasten hex bars in place with bolts, nuts, or axles.

The increased grip at the surface also maximizes torque transmission, making tightening and installation even easier.

Applications of Hex Bars

Hex bars are used across virtually all major industries. At AAA Metals, we serve manufacturers, construction teams, oil and gas processing companies, food and beverage manufacturers, and more with easy access to high-quality stainless steel hex bars.

The following applications commonly depend on us to supply quality hex bars:

Construction. Construction crews use stainless steel hex bars to add structural supports to buildings, railings, and balconies. Hex bars can also operate as fasteners.
Manufacturing. Manufacturers can machine and shape stainless steel hex bars into fasteners like nuts and bolts, general machined parts, and high-performance gears. These components get all the positive characteristics of hex bar stock, including corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and efficient torque transmission.
Oil and Gas. Stainless steel hex bars can be used to build temporary and permanent oil exploration assemblies, processing systems, and more.
Food and Beverage. Food and beverage processing equipment must be resistant to corrosion and chemical reactions. Parts from stainless steel hex bars are corrosion-resistant and comply with component material requirements for this industry.

Available Sizes and Grades

AAA Metals maintains a robust inventory of different stainless steel hex bar sizes and grades. Our team can also source hard-to-find options for special projects. Each of our inventory options is measured across the flats (A/F) and sorted according to stainless steel grade.

Reach out today to order from our available stock:

Grade 304 (18/8)

Grade 304 SS is corrosion-resistant and easy to work with. This grade is a popular choice for most applications.

Grade 316 (16/8)

Grade 316 is built for use in marine environments, as it’s more resistant to corrosion than 304 SS.

Grade 416

Grade 416 is ideal for a number of manufacturing processes. It’s easy to machine and very strong.

Stainless steel hex bars come in a range of sizes and grades. Our service team is available to help manufacturers, engineers, and construction crews select the right size and grade of hex bar for each project.
