What Mandrel Bending Entails
Mandrel bending is a bending technique that involves inserting a steel rod into the tube or pipe as it is shaped. The mandrel holds the tube or pipe in a perfect position as it is bent to the desired shape, making sure a perfect bend is achieved without running the risk of wrinkling or other deformities. These kinds of defects can cause problems further down the line once the tube is put to its intended use. The weakness in the pipe can result in fatigue to metals or plastics which, if subjected to intense pressure from gases or liquids, can lead to fractures, cracks or complete failure. Using a mandrel also prevents any risk of the pipe collapsing in on itself, or its radius being restricted, as the bending process takes place.
In short, tubes and pipes that have been bent using a mandrel last longer and perform better. But the quality of mandrel bending depends on using the right tools and the skill of the operative. If you’re looking for an experienced firm with a great track record in tube bending of all types and for a huge range of applications, look no further than TubeFab Ltd.
