What is the purpose of cold drawn hexagonal steel
2024-08-13 15:17Hexagonal steel, also known as hexagonal bar, is a type of structural steel. As the name suggests, the cross-section of a bar is a regular hexagon, and the dimensions of the opposite sides are equal. There are two processing techniques for hexagonal steel: forging and cold drawing. Tianzhan Steel Pipe specializes in producing customized cold drawn hexagonal steel.
Cold drawn hexagonal steel is produced by using precise molds to pull out various high-precision and smooth surface cold drawn hexagonal steels. Cold drawn hexagonal steel is widely used in mechanical manufacturing, light industry, hardware, standard parts, bicycles, automobiles, motorcycles, transformers, and other mechanical industries.
Compared to forging, cold drawn hexagonal steel saves more materials in later processing, especially when the amount of material used is large, resulting in more significant cost savings.
Steel with a regular hexagonal cross-section, represented by the diameter of the inscribed circle, with a specification range of 7-80mm. The manufacturing method is hot rolling. Mainly used as raw materials for manufacturing nuts. The majority of grades are carbon steel.
Hexagonal steel can be used to form various load-bearing components according to different structural needs, and can also be used as connectors between components. Widely used in various building and engineering structures, such as beams, bridges, transmission towers, lifting and transportation machinery, ships, industrial furnaces, reaction towers, container racks, and warehouse shelves
