Tube expansion is the technique implemented to increase the diameter of tubes. It is just one of the many manipulation services we offer, and allows for the use of tubular products in a variety of industries. When we expand tubes, there are two different methods to consider. Specialised manufacturing tools are required for the successful shaping of materials in tube manipulation and for ram forming expansion we use a die. The process incorporates insertion of the die into the tube with a significant amount of force behind it. Upon retraction of the tube, the end is successfully expanded.
The other method we use offers increased flexibility regarding diameter size. The hydraulic operated expanding die features segments that have the capability to expand to several lengths and diameters. The major advantage of this die is that you can expand the segments to your desired point and create accurate results. Tube expansion opens up a world of opportunity to many sectors, as it can be applied to most materials. As with all tube manipulation, the beauty of the process is the transformation of the material without cutting. Expansion and other methods create the tubular products you need without any loss or addition of materials.
