hexagonal tube & hexagonal profiles – high stability for robust constructions

A wide variety of profiles are made from aluminum. This light metal is not only suitable for hollow bodies, but can also ensure high stability in solid versions. For example, hexagonal tubes are required in many areas.

This allows particularly stable constructions, but also possible drive shafts, to be produced. If you are also interested in a hexagonal tube made of aluminum, then we can help you here in the Alu-Verkauf.de shop.

What actually is an aluminum hexagonal tube?

In short, this is an extruded or drawn aluminum that forms a solid rod with six edges. When viewed from above, the shape is reminiscent of the head of a hexagon nut. So it is not surprising that instead of the diameter, the wrench size is basically measured here.

An aluminum hexagonal tube is made of a special alloy. We use AlCuMgPb or AlCu4PbMgMn for our hexagonal profiles.

What properties does an aluminum hexagonal tube have?

The hexagonal tube is made of an aluminum alloy

• Aluminum,

• Copper,

• Magnesium,

• manganese and

• Lead.

When machined with a lathe, AlCuMgPb achieves excellent drilling and turning quality. The material can therefore be machined very easily.

A hexagonal tube made of AlCuMgPb has a high tensile strength of up to 470 N/mm². The hardness is specified as a maximum of 140 Brinell. As with all aluminum products, thermal conductivity also plays a role. Here this is around 1.5 W/cm in degrees Celsius.

Aluminum hexagonal tubes - What sizes and lengths are available?

If you need a hexagonal tube, you can easily find it here at Alu-Verkauf.de. We supply you with high-quality versions made of AlCuMgPb in various standardized wrench sizes and diameters.

Hexagonal tubes are available from a wrench size of 7 mm up to a maximum of 50 mm. The length of the desired aluminum hexagonal tube is 3,000 mm. If you wish, you can also order custom-made products from us. In this case, deliveries are available from a length of 20 mm. However, the maximum length of 3 m must not be exceeded.

The surface is kept mill-finished. Due to the copper content and the special alloy, we cannot offer you these hexagonal profiles anodized in silver. However, these aluminum tubes can be easily painted or powder coated. Individual shaping is also possible by applying heat.

What is a hexagonal tube needed for?

A hexagonal tube made of aluminum can be used for various purposes. There are certainly cases in which you have to make a custom-made hexagon wrench yourself, for example. By applying heat, you can easily make your own socket wrench from this material.

But a solid hexagonal tube can also be used as a brace for railing construction. This allows you to achieve high stability and torsional rigidity.

Hexagonal tubes are also needed in agriculture and especially in wine growing. When growing wine, protective nets often have to be installed so that the vines can later grow more easily. For stabilization, winegrowers therefore like to use hexagonal tubes, to which the protective nets can be ideally attached.

Otherwise, a hexagonal tube or hexagonal profile is required in vehicle and mechanical engineering because, for example, light drive shafts can be produced particularly well.

Easy to edit with a suitable socket wrench

Ideally, a hexagonal tube is ideal for machining with a suitable socket wrench. For example, if you order a hexagonal tube with a wrench size of 41 mm, you can work on it with a size 41 open-end wrench.

If you use a lathe to thread the bottom of the hexagonal tube beforehand, you will be able to attach the entire tube more easily later. Additional manufacturing steps are therefore required for these purposes. In this regard, we supply you with the raw material made of aluminum at a reasonable price.

Aluminum made from the AlCuMgPb alloy is very easy to process further. You can shorten this with a hacksaw, round it in a lathe or sand it with a file. You benefit from a wide range of possible uses.
