Mild Steel Hexagon Bar Bright EN1A
Buying Options
Mild Steel Angle Galvanised is an angle shaped galvanised Mild Steel.
Hot-dip galvanising is the process of coating iron or steel with a thin zinc layer, by passing the steel through a molten bath of zinc at a temperature of around 860 °F (460 °C). When exposed to the atmosphere, pure zinc reacts with oxygen to form zinc oxide, which further reacts with carbon dioxide to form zinc carbonate, a dull grey, fairly strong material that stops further corrosion in many circumstances, protecting the steel below from the elements.
Galvanised steel is widely used in applications where rust resistance is needed, and can be identified by the crystallization patterning on the surface (often called a “spangle”).

Additional Information
The Bright Mild Steel Hexagon Bar EN1A is a hexagonal-shaped bar made from EN1A bright mild steel, a low carbon-manganese free-cutting steel. Featuring a hexagonal cross-section, this bright mild steel hex bar provides strength and flexibility, making it suitable for both commercial and industrial applications.
EN1A is widely used for manufacturing precision-machined components such as nuts, bolts, studs, and hydraulic fittings. It is ideal for machining using both automatic and CNC machines, making it a popular choice in various engineering and industrial applications. EN1A is also available in a leaded grade (EN1A L) for improved machinability.
At Buy Metal Online, we offer EN1A Bright Mild Steel Hexagon Bars in 1000mm lengths, available in sizes ranging from 7mm to 36mm. If you require specific dimensions or have special requirements, contact our team to discuss your needs.
Key Qualities of Bright Mild Steel Hexagon Bar EN1A
The Bright Mild Steel Hexagon Bar EN1A is manufactured through a cold finishing and drawing process, giving it a smoother surface, increased straightness, and tighter tolerances compared to black mild steel. This precision makes it ideal for applications requiring high dimensional accuracy.
Although formability is rated poor, the material’s excellent machinability ensures easy cutting, shaping, and processing, making it a favourite among manufacturers.
