Amantongomane ane-hexagon ayisici esivamile sokuxhuma ngomshini esithola igama layo kusukela ekumeni kwayo okuyi-hexagonal, eyaziwa nangokuthi amantongomane angama-hexagon. Imvamisa isetshenziswa ngokuhambisana namabhawudi ukuze kuvikeleke futhi kusekelwe izingxenye ngokuxhuma okunentambo, okudlala indima ebalulekile yokuxhuma.
Amantongomane eHexagon enziwe ngezinto zensimbi, njenge-carbon steel, insimbi engagqwali, njll., futhi kukhona nezikhathi ezikhethekile ezidinga ukusetshenziswa kwe-aluminium alloy, ithusi nezinye izinto. Lezi zinto zinokuqina okuhle kakhulu nokugqwala, futhi zinganikeza ukuxhumana okuthembekile ezindaweni ezihlukene zokusebenza.
