Header Punches & Punch Pins
Hexagonal Punch Pin for Cold Heading
Hexagonal punch pins for forming internal hex recesses during cold heading. Jungu checks recess depth, corner radius, punch alignment, material route, and breakage pattern.
What is Hexagonal Punch Pin for Cold Heading used for?
A hexagonal punch pin forms an internal hex recess or hexagonal profile during cold heading. The failure risk sits at the corners: if the corner radius is too sharp, the fastener material is hard, or the punch is misaligned, the pin can chip before normal wear appears. HSS, powder steel, and carbide-supported routes behave differently under impact, so the material choice should follow the recess depth, fastener grade, machine station, lubrication, and target tool life. Jungu reviews the recess drawing, across-flat size, corner radius, punch length, shank fit, station alignment, coating expectation, and photos of chipped corners or poor fill before quoting. We also check whether the finished recess is rounded, torn, or off-center because each pattern points to a different punch or setup problem.
Common sourcing use

Technical Review Scope
What Jungu checks
- Hex recess drawing, across-flat size, depth, corner radius, tolerance, and surface finish
- Punch length, shank fit, station alignment, impact load, lubrication, and coating route
- Current issue: chipped hex corner, rounded recess, poor fill, bending, galling, or short life
Why no standard price is shown
This is B2B custom tooling. A reliable quotation depends on drawing, material, size, tolerance, machine setup, annual quantity, and the mould-life issue the buyer wants to solve. Jungu quotes after technical review instead of showing a misleading fixed price.

FAQ
Why do hex punch pins chip at the corners?
Sharp corner geometry, hard fastener material, poor alignment, and high impact load concentrate stress at the hex corner.
Should the pin be HSS or carbide?
It depends on wear location and impact risk. Carbide helps wear but needs safe support; HSS or powder steel can be safer for shock load.
Can this product be customized?
Yes. Jungu manufactures fastener mould tooling according to buyer drawings, samples, and machine requirements.
