Descriptions of Hexagon Steel Tubing

Hexagon steel tubing is a metal tube with a hexagonal cross-section, usually made of carbon steel, alloy steel and other materials. Compared with traditional round tubes or square tubes, it has a unique geometric shape and is widely used in fields that need to save space, enhance structural stability or have specific design requirements.

Benefits of hexagonal steel tubes:

Unique shape: The cross-section of the hexagonal tube is hexagonal and has strong structural strength. When subjected to force, the distribution of the hexagonal tube is more uniform than that of the round tube, which can improve stability.
Space saving: The hexagonal shape saves space compared to the round tube, especially in the design that needs to be side by side or closely combined, it can reduce gaps and improve utilization.
Good torsion resistance: Due to the special shape of the hexagonal steel tube, it is more resistant to twisting and deformation than the round tube and has strong torsion resistance.
Aesthetics: The appearance of the hexagonal tube is relatively unique. In some fields with strong decorative or design characteristics, the hexagonal steel tube can provide beautiful and modern visual effects.

Specifications of Hexagonal Steel Tubes

Dimensions: Custom length

Material: Carbon or Alloy Steel

Coatings: Black paint, Oil coatings, powder, chrome plating, Galvanization

International standards: ASTM, DIN, EN, JIS, GB

Hexagonal shape steel tube types:

Hexagonal Outer Diameter, Round Inner Diameter:
- The tube has a hexagonal exterior while the interior remains round. This is often used for structural applications where the external shape is important but the internal shape is designed for flow or to accommodate other components.
Hexagonal Outer Diameter, Hexagonal Inner Diameter:
- Both the exterior and interior of the tube are hexagonal. This design ensures a consistent shape throughout the tube and provides enhanced strength, making it ideal for high-load applications.
Round Outer Diameter, Hexagonal Inner Diameter:
- The outside of the tube is round, but the inside is hexagonal. This design is less common but can be useful for specific custom applications where the interior requires a hexagonal configuration.

Each of these types can be customized in terms of material, thickness, and length to meet specific application needs.

Applications of Hexagon Shaped Steel Tubing

Hexagon steel tubes are used for Petroleum & chemical industries, construction field, machinery and hardware fields, food processing and medical industry, high or low temperature resistant, electricity industries, etc.

Structural materials: Hexagonal tubes are often used as structural components in machinery and construction, such as frame structures, support rods, etc. They can withstand greater pressure and perform well in some high-strength applications.
Furniture and decoration: Due to the unique appearance of hexagonal tubes, they are often used in furniture and decoration designs in modern homes, offices, public spaces, etc., such as table and chair frames, stair handrails, etc.
Sports equipment: For example, fitness equipment, sports equipment, bicycles, etc., hexagonal tubes are often used in these applications that require strength and durability due to their high strength and stability.
Automobile and aviation industries: Hexagon steel tubing is sometimes used in structural parts of automobiles and aircraft, especially in parts that need to withstand high pressure and strong impact.
Water pipes and hydraulic pipes: The special shape and high strength of hexagonal tubes make them have certain applications in hydraulic systems and water pipe systems, especially in some special environments.
Decorative uses: Hexagonal steel tubes can also be used in some special decorative designs, such as frames of building facades, landscape facilities, etc., to add a sense of modernity.

Technical Solutions Of Hexagon Steel Tubing

Our hexagonal steel tubes provide manufacturers with advanced solutions to meet complex technical requirements. These tubes are produced through a cold drawing process, utilizing a mandrel and die, which allows for precise control over the tube’s internal and external dimensions. The mandrel, equipped with a turning tool, shapes the inner diameter (ID) to create the rib structure as designed, ensuring superior strength and stability.

This cold-drawn method offers significant advantages over traditional machining from solid bar, enabling manufacturers to achieve outstanding physical and mechanical properties that are often difficult to replicate with other manufacturing techniques. The result is a tube with excellent dimensional accuracy, enhanced material properties, and the ability to withstand demanding applications.

By using this advanced process, BAOKUN ensure that our hexagon steel tubeing meet international standards for quality, durability, and performance. Our solutions provide the flexibility to meet diverse industry requirements, delivering reliable and cost-effective results.
