Hexagonal profile production technology
At this stage of development of the metallurgical industry, there are three types of steel hexagon production:

• Hot rolling;
• Hot pressing;(//tractor-service.com)
• Cold rolling.

When making a hexagon by hot rolling, the dimensions of the product reach the limit of 100 mm. According to GOST 2879-99, a large range of hexagon sizes is provided, and for a profile product less than 20 mm, its delivery in coils is allowed. Due to the presence of surface scale during hot-rolled production, the hexagon is subjected to chemical or mechanical cleaning.

The production of rolled metal with a hexagonal cross-section by the method of hot pressing includes obtaining a hexagon from special and heat-resistant, tool steels. The profile is pressed on powerful hydraulic presses, most often of the horizontal type. With increased profile accuracy, the pressing tool is characterized by relatively low resistance.
