Tube Bending and Pipe Bending Principles

  Tube bending is one of the fundamental processes in metal fabrication. Industrial pipes and tubes are a vital item in manufacturing for both construction and the transportation of other materials. The majority of bent tubes are used as structural components such as handrails, as elements of metal furniture frames and car roll cages, while piping is used for oil and water products, hydraulic systems and exhaust lines. Tube Bending Processes There are several metal fabrication techniques for bending tubes and pipes, including draw, press, ram and roll bending. They each apply force to bend the metal and there are common principles to all of them, including elongation and bend radius. There are also tool functions that also have specific ways of affecting the bend such as  mandrels  and wipers. The correct application of all the principles influence the quality of the pipe and tube manufacture. Bending Forces When a tube is bent, the wall of the tube at the point i...

Metal Pipe and Tube Bending

  Even as a child, you were probably bending metal.  You might have been bending metal paper clips, or even your parents' cutlery. Or you might have preferred making pipe-cleaner clowns. Or you could have just stuck to bending the toothpaste tube (They were metal back then, weren't they?). One thing is for certain, the metal you were bending as a child was not steel beams or tubes, and it never had to be strong enough to hold up a stadium roof or a roller coaster. As adults, we rely on curved metal beams, pipe, tubes, and angles in everything from a simple park bench to spiral staircases to some parts of modern skyscrapers. Visit any airport or museum built in the past couple decades and count the number of curved metal structures you find. Have you ever wondered how they do it? I mean, how can you bend a steel beam and still keep the strength to support an airport roof? Well, there are four ways. titanium tube Rolling to bend metal Rolling is the best known way to b...
