Steel Tube Properties for Bending

Steel Tube Properties for Bending

Steel Tube Properties for Bending

(OP)
Hi All,

I am wondering is there much variation in tube (aluminised, stainless or mild steel) that is required for bending purposes?
Having trouble discovering if there is or not any difference as I am trying to source steel for bending but don't know if theres a specific makeup that the steel needs to be in order to bend properly.
Will be bending a variety of tube size 1.5" up to 4" and in stainless, aluminised and mild steel.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Steel Tube Properties for Bending

Yes, the mechanical properties of the tube material, OD and wall thickness are all essential variables for cold forming bends.
