All about tube bending


Tube Forming

Tube forming is a process of forming and reshaping a metal tube into predetermined shapes and angles. It involves bending, flaring, expanding, and cold forming, with some operations including several of these. It is an important step in many industries, such as automotive and aerospace, because it creates the structure of, and strength in, many parts of an aircraft or automobile.


This process is mainly used when making simple and complex sculptures and shapes, such as those found in exhaust pipes, railings, hook bowls, and other items that are impossible to produce using traditional machining methods. The main advantage of tube forming is its ability to produce complex shapes with minimal material waste, labor costs, and need for close tolerances. Depending on the complexity of the shape, the number of bends and a number of other factors, the cost of production may vary.


Tube forming is often used to create shapes that can not be created using machining techniques and standard castings. This is because tube forming requires a minimal level of setup time and is capable of producing almost any desired shape. It also allows for higher strength and accuracy than traditional shaping processes and is often better suited for forming assemblies with many components.

Tube Bending

Tube bending is the process of bending tubing into difficult angles and shapes. It is one of the most common operations in tube forming and is often used to form pipes, chassis components, or furniture. In order to do this, a tool must be used to bend and hold the material in place until it is ready for welding or other types of assembly.


The bending process for tubes can be divided into two broad groups: cold bending and hot bending. Cold bending is the most common way of bending tubes and is a less expensive than hot bending. Cold bending uses a mechanical device to force the tube into the desired bending angle. This process cannot create very tight angles and will have difficulty if the tube wall is too thick.


In contrast, hot bending is a more expensive process, but it offers more flexibility and control when creating tight turns. The tube is heated and then forced into a bending die, which creates the desired shape. Hot bending is necessary for more complex shapes and tighter angles. Most industrial applications require hot bending because of the tightness and accuracy necessary for those shapes.

Mandrel Bending

Mandrel bending is a specialized method of tube bending which uses a mandrel to support the inside of the tube. This process helps form sharp curves and maintain uniform wall thickness, allowing for tighter tolerances than cold or hot bending.


The equipment used for mandrel bending is usually a sophisticated CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine. The advantage of this machine is it can program the mandrel to form bends at any angle and to any radius. This allows for any design and makes the forming process much faster and easier.


The mandrel itself is basically a steel rod made to fit inside the tube that is being bent, and is inserted into the tube before the bending process begins. The mandrel acts as a support for the walls of the tube and prevents the tube from wrinkling or collapsing as it is bent. Although mandrel bending can be done by hand, a CNC machine offers more leverage, precision and accuracy.


Mandrel bending is used in a variety of industries, such as automotive, aerospace and others, to produce intricate shapes and parts with tighter tolerances than traditional bending techniques. It has opened up a number of possibilities for better and more intricate designs.


In conclusion, tube bending is a versatile process used in a variety of industries for the production of complex parts. It can be divided into cold, hot and mandrel bending, each of which offers a different set of advantages depending on the complexity of the part or shape being produced. While mandrel bending is more expensive, it is also the most accurate and suitable for creating intricate designs.
