Grades: CuNi 90/10, CuZn (Brass)
Inox Steel India is a manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of copper, brass, and bronze hex bars, supplying to marine, electrical, engineering, and industrial sectors across India, GCC countries, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and the Americas.
Copper-based hex bars are supplied in CuNi 90/10 (Copper–Nickel alloy) and CuZn (Brass alloy) grades, manufactured in accordance with ASTM and EN standards. These materials are selected for applications requiring corrosion resistance, electrical and thermal conductivity, and good machinability.
With controlled processing and dimensional accuracy, copper, brass, and bronze hex bars supplied by Inox Steel India provide uniform across-flat dimensions, stable mechanical properties, and suitability for precision machining and fabrication.
Copper, brass, and bronze hex bars are solid long products with a hexagonal (six-sided) cross section, manufactured from copper-based alloys. The hexagonal profile allows positive spanner grip and ease of assembly, making these bars suitable for fasteners, fittings, and machined components.
Copper alloy hex bars are produced from billets using hot rolling or cold drawing (bright bar processing), followed by annealing to achieve the required ductility, machinability, and surface finish.
These properties make copper-based hex bars suitable for marine, electrical, and industrial applications.
Copper / brass / bronze hex bars are supplied in the following grades:
Materials are supplied as per ASTM B466 / B467 (CuNi) and ASTM B16 / EN 12164 (Brass) specifications.

When selecting copper-based hex bars, the following parameters should be evaluated:
Correct grade selection ensures reliable performance and service life.
In India, copper, brass, and bronze hex bars are widely used by marine equipment manufacturers, electrical component producers, plumbing and fitting manufacturers, and machining workshops, particularly in industrial regions such as Mumbai, Jamnagar, Ahmedabad, and Chennai.
Export demand is driven by marine hardware, condenser components, electrical fittings, and precision-engineered parts requiring ASTM and EN-compliant copper alloy materials.
Copper-, brass-, and bronze-based hex bars supplied by Inox Steel India are used where corrosion resistance, conductivity, and machinability are required. Grade selection depends on service environment, conductivity needs, and fabrication method.
Copper alloy hex bars are supplied in standard metric hex bar sizes as per applicable ASTM / EN tolerances.
(Refer to standard hex bar sizes in mm PDF and hex bar size chart in mm India for detailed dimensions and weights.)
