Inox Steel India is a manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of forged hex bars, supplying to heavy engineering, power, oil & gas, and industrial manufacturing sectors across India, GCC countries, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and the Americas.
Forged hex bars are produced through open-die or closed-die forging, a process that refines the grain structure and enhances mechanical strength compared to rolled products. This makes forged hex bars suitable for high-load, high-stress, and safety-critical applications.
Inox Steel India supplies forged hex bars across carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, duplex, tool steel, nickel alloys, titanium, and copper alloy grades, manufactured in compliance with applicable ASTM, ASME, EN, DIN, and IS standards.
Forged hex bars are solid hexagonal bars produced by deforming heated billets under compressive forces. Unlike rolling, forging aligns the internal grain flow with the shape of the component, resulting in superior mechanical properties and internal soundness.
Forged hex bars are typically supplied with forging tolerance and machining allowance, making them ideal for components that will undergo further machining.
These characteristics make forged hex bars ideal for load-bearing and safety-critical components.
Forged hex bars can be supplied in a wide range of materials, including:
Material selection depends on mechanical strength, service environment, and design requirements.

When selecting forged hex bars, the following parameters should be evaluated:
Correct selection ensures structural integrity and long service life.
In India, forged hex bars are widely used by heavy engineering manufacturers, power equipment suppliers, oil & gas fabricators, and large machining units, especially in industrial hubs such as Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Ahmedabad.
Export demand is driven by energy, offshore, and heavy machinery projects requiring forged components with certified quality.
Forged hex bars supplied by Inox Steel India are selected for applications requiring high load-bearing capacity, impact resistance, and internal soundness. Forging refines grain flow, making these bars suitable for critical and heavy-duty components where rolled products may not meet design margins.
Forged hex bars are supplied with forging tolerances and machining allowance, suitable for downstream machining.
(Refer to standard hex bar sizes in mm PDF and hex bar size chart in mm India for nominal dimensions; forged bars require machining allowance.)
Weights are calculated on nominal AF size and may vary due to forging allowance and material grade.
| AF Size (mm) | Indicative Weight (kg/m)* |
|---|---|
| 20 | 2.72 |
| 30 | 6.11 |
| 40 | 10.86 |
| 60 | 24.60 |
| 80 | ~43.70 |
| 100 | ~68.20 |
*Indicative only; actual weights depend on forging allowance and density of base material.
| Material Category | Approx. Price Range (INR / kg) |
|---|---|
| Carbon / Alloy Steel | ₹ 120 – ₹ 280 |
| Stainless / Duplex | ₹ 280 – ₹ 650 |
| Special Alloys | On Request |
Prices depend on material grade, section size, forging route, heat treatment, and quantity.
