High Carbon Steel Hex Bars Manufacturer, Stockist and Exporter
High Carbon Steel Hex Bars are widely used in industrial and engineering applications where strength, hardness, and wear resistance are critical. These hexagonal bars are manufactured using high-quality carbon steel to ensure uniformity and durability. They are suitable for machining, forging, and fabrication processes. High carbon steel provides superior mechanical properties compared to low and medium carbon steel, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications. The hexagonal shape facilitates easy gripping, fastening, and fitting in various assemblies. Industries like automotive, construction, and machinery rely on these bars for long-lasting performance. The surface can be supplied in hot-rolled, cold-rolled, or polished finishes depending on the requirement.
The production of high carbon steel hex bars involves precise control of chemical composition to achieve optimum hardness and tensile strength. Standard grades like AISI 1060, 1070, and 1080 are commonly used for these bars. The carbon content typically ranges from 0.60% to 1.0%, providing high hardness and wear resistance. These bars are ideal for components subjected to heavy load and stress. They can be easily machined or heat-treated to further enhance properties. Available in various lengths, diameters, and tolerances, these hex bars cater to specific industrial needs. Suppliers often provide customization options to meet exact project specifications.
High Carbon Steel Hex Bars are known for their excellent toughness and fatigue resistance. They maintain structural integrity even under harsh conditions and high temperatures. This makes them suitable for critical applications such as gears, shafts, and fasteners. The uniform cross-section of hex bars ensures consistent performance during machining and assembly. Advanced heat treatment processes can further improve hardness and reduce brittleness. Industries that require precision and reliability heavily rely on these hex bars. They offer a balance of strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness.
