Dependable Tube Bending

  Metal tube bending is a manufacturing process that permanently changes the shape of a metal tube. It is a widely used process in a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, construction, and furniture manufacturing. Tube bending can be used to create a wide range of shapes, from simple bends to complex spirals and coils. Types of Tube Bending Processes There are two main types of tube bending processes: cold bending and hot bending. Cold bending is the most common type of tube bending. It is performed at room temperature or slightly elevated temperatures. Cold bending is typically used for bending tubes with a wall thickness of less than 0.25 inches. Hot bending is used for bending tubes with a wall thickness of more than 0.25 inches or for bending tubes made of difficult-to-bend materials, such as stainless steel and titanium. Hot bending is performed at temperatures above the recrystallization temperature of the metal. This allows the metal to deform more eas
