For components like heavy hex nuts, bolts, and threaded fluid fittings, the hex bar already provides the finished outer profile. This eliminates the need for extensive CNC milling to create flat wrenching surfaces, drastically reducing cycle times.

Nickel superalloys are high-value materials. By starting with a hex profile rather than machining down a larger round bar, you significantly decrease scrap generation (swarf) and improve your overall material yield.

Our hex bars are primarily supplied in the cold-drawn condition, ensuring exceptionally tight tolerances Across Flats (AF), sharp corners, and a smooth surface finish ready for automated Swiss-style CNC lathes.

The cold drawing process used to manufacture precision hex bars work-hardens the material, naturally increasing its yield and tensile strength compared to standard hot-rolled conditions.
