Black ASTM A234 WP5 SCH40 180 Degree Short Radius Elbow 6 Inch

Pipe Elbow Fittings 6" SCH40 180D SR A234WP5 206

Seamless elbow: elbow is a pipe fitting used at the bend of a pipe. The largest proportion of all pipe fittings used in the pipeline system is about 80. Usually, different forming processes are selected for bends with different materials or wall thickness. The seamless elbow forming process used by the manufacturer is hot push, stamping, extrusion and so on.

Thermal Push Form
The forming process of hot-push elbow is the process of using special elbow pushing machine, core die and heating device to make the blank set on the die move forward under the push of the pushing machine, and be heated, expanded and bent in motion. The deformation characteristic of hot push elbow is to determine the diameter of pipe billet according to the law of constant volume before and after plastic deformation of metal material. The diameter of pipe billet is smaller than the diameter of elbow. Compensate to other parts of the inner arc thinning due to diameter expansion, thus obtaining a uniform wall thickness elbow.

The hot-push elbow forming process has the characteristics of beautiful appearance, uniform wall thickness and continuous operation, which is suitable for mass production, so it has become the main forming method of carbon steel and alloy steel elbows, and has also been applied in the forming of stainless steel elbows of some specifications.
The heating mode of forming process includes intermediate frequency or high frequency induction heating (heating ring can be multi-ring or single ring), flame heating and reflecting furnace heating. The heating mode depends on the requirements of forming product and energy situation.
