Latest Aluminum Pipe Bending Techniques

Induction pipe bending is a technique where a tube is heated to an accurate temperature and it is bent under this hot condition. The pipe is heated with the aid of an induction heating coil at high frequency. This technique is one of the very most commonly used pipe bending methods since it guarantees you quality pipe bends.

Electric PIPE BENDS Manufacturer from Ahmedabad the bending temperature could be anything between 800 degree centigrade and 1000 degree centigrade. However this temperature is influenced by the material used and its thickness.

The radius arm clamps the pipe in the front and at the tail end, the carriage clamp that pushes the metal locks the pipe. This pushing carriage, driven by the DC motor, then moves forward on the main track at a consistent speed. The heating of the pipe starts when electricity is supplied through the high frequency transformer to the heating coil.

When the precise temperature is reached, the metal is pushed forward which causes the pipe to bend since it advances forward. The pivot arm position determines the radius of the pipe.

After the bending process, the hot pipe is immediately immersed in water and this technique is named the quenching process. The quenching process leads to creation of cold sections near the pinnacle band which in turn supports the heated element of the metal that has been softened because of the heating process.

Incase of thicker pipes, they are air-cooled to attain these cold sections. For quality bent pipes, it is most important that all through the entire bending process, the temperature must certanly be closely monitored and controlled.
