Aluminum Hex Tube Manufacturer
Xingyong extrudes aluminum hex tube and hexagonal profiles to drawing for OEM buyers and importers — custom dies, machining and anodizing from one factory.
- Full size envelope — hex sections cut from the same OD 3–600 mm, wall 0.5–50 mm range as our round and square lines.
- Die-driven geometry — across-flats dimensions and corner radii extruded to your print, not milled from round stock.
- OEM terms that hold — die and sample in 25–35 days, quotes in 24 hours.
What Aluminum Hex Tube Is For — and Why It Is a Die Product
Aluminum hex tube is a hexagonal hollow section — chosen where flats must index: anti-rotation shafts, torque interfaces, knobs and architectural accents.
The flats are the function: a hex in a matching socket cannot spin, which is why motorsports, fixtures and hardware designers reach for hexagonal tubing when a round tube plus a keyway would be the expensive way to say the same thing.
Like every non-round section, hex is die-driven: distributors stock a handful of across-flats sizes and everything else is extruded to order — which favors buying from the extrusion source directly.
Jiangsu Xingyong Aluminum Technology Co., Ltd — the factory behind poolpole.com — cuts the die, extrudes on a 2,000-ton press, then machines, anodizes and caps the section in the same plant. Solid aluminum hex bar runs on the same tooling logic.
The shape family lives at aluminum tube, square tubing and oval tube; alloy-first specs at 6061 aluminum tubing. This page is the hexagonal program.
Aluminum Hex Tube OEM Options — What You Can Spec, Line by Line
Send the across-flats dimension and wall map — or the part the hex must index into — and the sheet fills from there. One factory owns die, press, temper and finish.
| Specification | OEM Options | Confirm Before Sampling |
|---|---|---|
| Section | Hex tube or solid hex bar per drawing | Across-flats and corner radii |
| Alloy & temper | 6063 or 6061; T5/T6 per load case | Torque and structural duty |
| Size envelope | Within OD 3–600 mm, wall 0.5–50 mm | Tolerance class per flat |
| Lengths & cutting | Mill lengths or cut-to-length per order | Length tolerance and end finish |
| Machining | In-house CNC — drilling, tapping, end features | Feature drawing with datums |
| Finish | Mill, anodized (clear or color), powder coated | Surface class and color codes |
| Plastic parts & assembly (in-house) | Hex end caps and plugs molded to the die | Cap style and assembly level |
| Packaging | Bundles, cartons, private label | Counts and protection level |
| MOQ & lead time | Per configuration; die and sample 25–35 days | Volumes and delivery windows |
Aluminum Hex Tube Sections We Extrude
Three ways hexagonal aluminum leaves this die shop — the tube, the solid bar and the extruded-to-print custom. One press behind all three.
Hex Tubing
Hollow hexagonal sections for anti-rotation and torque interfaces — flats that index, walls that carry.
Aluminum Hex Bar
Solid hex stock off the same tooling logic — machining blanks that arrive already six-sided.
Extruded Aluminum Hex Tube
Custom across-flats and wall maps to your print — the die is quoted inside the program.
Specs reflect hex extrusions from Jiangsu Xingyong (ISO 9001 + IATF 16949, since 2010); confirm flat tolerances before sampling.
Aluminum Hex Tube Sourcing: Extruded vs Milled-From-Round vs Steel Hex
A hex section is only as good as how it became six-sided — the honest comparison:
| Point | Extruded-to-die hex | Milled from round stock | Steel hex stock |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flat consistency | Every meter matches the die | Tool marks and cost per part | Excellent |
| Material use | Near-net — no milled-away waste | Buys round, throws away corners | Good |
| Weight | A third of steel | Same aluminum, higher cost | Heavy |
| Corrosion | Anodized or mill — no coating to chip | Same | Rusts uncoated |
| Cost logic | Die amortized across the program | Right for one-offs only | Premium where mass is wanted |
Why OEM Engineers and Importers Choose Xingyong for Aluminum Hex Tube
Hex stock is bought on the drawing and reordered on repeat geometry. These four cards cover both. Sourcing through a trading company today? See how we work with importers.
Hex Sections Extruded to the Print, Meter After Meter
- Across-flats and corner radii held to the die — no milling variance.
- 6063/6061 with temper controlled in-house.
- For distributors: your fabricators’ fixtures keep fitting, lot after lot.
Dies, Machining and Hex Caps Under One Roof
- Die quoted inside the program — not farmed out.
- Hex end caps molded to the section; nothing off-the-shelf fits a custom hex.
- Importing today? Start at importers & trading companies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Six answers for the people who sign section drawings — OEM engineers and importers. Hunting one stick of hex? A metals distributor is faster; this desk is for programs.
Can you match a hex profile we already use?
Yes — send the drawing or a cut sample. We reverse the section, quote the die inside the program, and hold your across-flats and radii. Die and first samples run 25–35 days.
Hex tube or hex bar — which does my part want?
Tube where the section carries load or passes a shaft; solid bar where the part is machined from blank. Both run on the same press logic here, so the drawing — not the catalog — decides.
Why are stock hex sizes so hard to find?
Because every hex is its own die. Distributors stock the handful that turn over; everything else is extruded to order — and if your program needs more than a repair length, the custom die usually costs less than redesigning around someone else’s flats.
How is aluminum hex tube priced at volume?
By billet weight, section complexity, temper, machining, finish and volume — plus the die, amortized across the program. Factory-direct pricing tracks the aluminum market. Quotes return within 24 hours of a drawing.
What is the MOQ for a custom hex program?
Set per configuration — one die serves every length and most machining variants, keeping entry volume workable. Confirm volumes with the drawing and the MOQ returns with the quote.
Do you sell cut-to-size single pieces?
No — we are the extrusion layer: dies, mill runs and OEM programs with export packaging. For one repair length, a metals distributor serves you faster. If your product is built on a hex section, this page is for you.
