Eagle Stainless now has a CNC Tube Bending Machine that increases our ability to bend stainless steel tubing. This allows for greater capacity as well increased CNC tube-bending, up to.625 dia. in varying wall thicknesses. The machine is designed to ensure consistent bending as well as precision dimensions.
You should also consider the bend diameter, yield strength, thickness and whether stainless steel is welded or non-welded when bending tubing. Precision bent parts are perfect for surgical devices and heat exchangers. They can also be used to make handling equipment, instruments, or other types of equipment. Eagle Tube's 40 years of expertise allows them to bend tubes multiple ways and at different angles without causing excessive distortion. Quality and precision are essential in the medical device sector. Eagle's ISO 9001 & ISO 13485 certificates reflect this commitment to quality.
The 4 considerations to make before bending Stainless Steel Tube
1. Bend Radius
The bend diameter is measured at the inside curve. It is a minimum radius to bend a pipe, tube, or tube without damaging them. Eagle size ranges from.032 to 1 inch diameters. Wall thickness is available, as well as minimal radius and wall thinned requirements.
2. Yield Strength
Yield strength refers to the maximum stress on a tubular material that it can withstand before being damaged. The yield strength of a tube is determined with a tensile bending test. The results are plotted as a strain-stress curve. It is where the stress and strain curve diverges from proportionality that the yield strength for the material is measured.
3. Material Thickness
The thickness of the tube wall is measured in gauge. The thickness of a tube wall is gauge. The ratio between the OD and WT is another factor. Material with a thin wall thickness may need additional support for bending. As the wall thickness increases the amount pressure the tubing will withstand is increased while the amount it can flow decreases.
4. Seamless or weld tubing
It is possible to manufacture welded tubing by rolling a flat stainless strip. A billet is formed out of molten stainless. The billet of stainless steel is then extruded in order to produce a hollow pipe. Both seamless and welded tubes can be bent. When the radius has to be tight, seamless is the better option.
