Louis Metals supplies high-quality Stainless Steel Hex Bars and Rods, produced in Houston, USA to satisfy the demands of contemporary engineering and manufacturing. With six-sided shape and high dimensional precision, these bars are suitable for machining high-precision components and fasteners. In numerous stainless steel grades, our hex bars have great mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and toughness. For applications in construction, the automotive industry, or mechanical assemblies, Louis Metals offers high-quality material, timely delivery, and special sizing. Our hex bars are manufactured according to ASTM standards for high-performance industrial use.
Stainless Steel Hex Bars are generally made up of 18–20% chromium, 8–10% nickel, and can contain molybdenum (in grade 316) for increased corrosion resistance. They offer high tensile strength (approximately 520–750 MPa), yield strength, and hardness while retaining good weldability and machinability. The hexagonal cross section is suitable for simple gripping in mechanical fastener applications and in precision turning operations. Hex bars have high heat resistance and corrosion resistance, ideal for both high-load and high-exposure conditions. Louis Metals ensures that every product is produced according to ASTM A276/A479 standards.
