Aluminium hex bar/rod is commonly used in aerospace, automotive, marine, construction, and manufacturing industries for lightweight structures, electrical components, fasteners, and precision machining due to its strength and corrosion resistance.
Aluminum hex bars are produced through extrusion, casting, or forging, followed by heat treatment and machining. This process enhances strength, dimensional accuracy, and surface finish, ensuring consistent quality and performance.
Yes, aluminum hex bar/rod can be welded. Recommended techniques include Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding for precision, and Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding for faster, more robust welds.
Light weight, corrosion resistant, and quite hard. Aluminum hex bars and rods provide much versatility to the users since they can be used as structural frames, supports and brackets for constructing electrical component assemblies, auto parts, as well as aeronautical construction elements. Due to their excellent strength along with ease in handling, they are most versatile to be used within various architectural designs, different machinery parts, and maritime industries. Besides, aluminium hex bars and rods are highly important in manufacturing custom tools, fixtures, and precision parts for specific applications.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
