Stainless Steel Hex Rod/Bar

a six-sided metal bar made from corrosion-resistant steel alloy, widely used to manufacture precision fasteners, shafts, and structural components.

Key Specifications & Materials
Common Grades: Grade 304 (18% chromium, 8% nickel for general corrosion resistance) and Grade 316 (includes molybdenum for enhanced resistance to salt water and chemicals).
Shape & Design: Features a distinct six-sided hexagonal cross-section that offers flat surfaces for an easy grip with a wrench, vise, or machine chuck.
Manufacturing: Typically produced via hot rolling followed by cold drawing to achieve tight dimensional tolerances and a smooth surface finish.
Dimensions: Diameters generally range from small metric sizes (3 mm to 27 mm) up to larger industrial scales (100 mm+), supplied in customized or standard lengths (often 200 mm to 6 meters).

Primary Uses
Fasteners: Serves as the base raw material for machining nuts, bolts, screws, and threaded components.
Automotive & Machinery: Used for drive shafts, axles, valve components, and torsion-resistant parts.
Industrial & Marine: Applied in chemical processing, petroleum, marine hardware, and structural frameworks due to its high tensile strength and rust resistance.
