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
Stainless Steel Hexagon Bar 303 is a hexagonal shaped 303 Stainless Steel Alloy Bar.
303 Stainless Steel Alloy is a chromium-nickel stainless steel with added sulfur or selenium and phosphorus to improve machinability and non-seizing properties.
It is the most free machining of the chromium-nickel grades. When annealed, non-magnetic properties are produced.

Key Characteristics of Engineering Steel Hexagon Bar EN16
Our EN16 engineering steel hexagon bar has six equal sides, with a combination of excellent machinability and high tensile strength that makes it ideal for industries requiring components that can withstand high stress and pressure. EN16 is more resistant to shear loading and frictional wearing than EN8, and generally has a higher corrosion resistance and better weldability in comparison. When hardened and tempered to "T" condition (EN16T), it becomes highly machinable, making it a popular choice in engineering applications.Key specifications include:
- Specification: 605M36T
- Elongation: 13%
- Hardness: 248 - 302 HB
- Tensile Strength: 850 - 1000 N/mm²
- Yield Strength: 680 N/mm²
- Corrosion Resistance: Good
- Heat Treatment: Good
- Machinability: Good
- Weldability: Fair
Benefits of Engineering Steel Hexagon Bar EN16
The EN16 engineering steel hexagonal bar offers a range of benefits that make it suitable for use in demanding environments:- High Tensile Strength: The bar’s high tensile strength ensures it can handle heavy loads without compromising on structural integrity, making it ideal for high-performance applications.
- Good Ductility: The ductility of engineering steel hexagon bar EN16 means it can be drawn into wire or other forms without breaking, allowing for flexibility in manufacturing processes. The material also offers relief from temper brittleness, meaning that it does not lose ductility under heat treatment processes.
- Shock Resistance: Known for its excellent shock resistance, EN16 engineering steel hexagon bars are particularly suited for applications that involve high impact, ensuring safety and durability.
- Corrosion Resistance: EN16 engineering steel has good resistance to corrosion and is therefore suitable for use in outdoor and industrial environments where the material is exposed to moisture and corrosive agents.
- Durability: The corrosion resistance and durability of this material enhances the longevity of components and structures, making it a cost-effective choice for long-term applications.
- Machinability: This low alloy steel is highly machinable which allows for easy precision shaping, cutting and fabrication, reducing production time and improving efficiency.
Popular Uses for Engineering Steel Hexagon Bar EN16
EN16 engineering steel hexagonal bars are a popular 'all-rounder' and are used in a wide variety of general engineering applications, particularly where high shock resistance is required.- Automotive Industry: Often used in the production of vehicle components such as axles, crankshafts, suspension systems, and gears, where high strength and impact resistance are essential.
- Manufacturing and Machinery: The EN16 engineering steel hexagon bar is ideal for manufacturing tools, machinery components, and high-stress equipment parts that require durability and the ability to withstand mechanical strain.
- Construction: In construction, EN16 hexagonal steel bars are used in the creation of structural frameworks, high-strength bolts, and reinforcement bars, contributing to the overall stability and strength of buildings, bridges and other infrastructure.
- General Engineering: EN16 is also commonly used in general engineering applications, including lifting gears, connection rods, and high-tensile shafts, where the material’s resilience and ductility are highly valued.
Common uses include:
- Axles
- Nuts and bolts
- Connection rods
- Crankshafts
- High load couplings
- Hubs
- Lifting gears
- Pistons
- Shafts

£0.00 – £137.40About the 6082T6 Aluminium Hexagon Bar
The 6082T6 Aluminium Hexagonal Bar belongs to the aluminium-magnesium-silicon family, commonly referred to as the 6000 or 6xxx series. Renowned for its versatility, 6082 is one of the most popular alloys in this category. Typically formed through extrusion and rolling, this wrought alloy is not used in casting but can occasionally be forged or clad, though these processes are less common. While 6082 aluminium cannot be work-hardened, it is heat-treated to the T6 temper, providing enhanced strength and reduced ductility, making it ideal for demanding applications where reliability is crucial.Key Qualities of Aluminium Hexagon Bar 6082T6
Aluminium Hexagon Bar 6082T6 combines exceptional mechanical properties with versatility and durability, making it suitable for numerous industries, from aerospace to architecture.
