Many people have seen fit to brand tube bending of any variety as a black art, one where trial and error can’t be avoided. In truth however, the basic principles have remained the same while technology has evolved to help ease the process. As a result there is less trial and error and much better accuracy.

To assist in achieving the ideal bend, your tooling set up has to be top notch. If you happen to be using rotary draw bending this fact becomes even more vital.

You also need to take the mandrel into account as the hardness is important. With a hard mandrel and tube, or a soft mandrel and tubing, the mandrel has a high chance of sticking inside and causing a lot of problems. As a rule of thumb, a mix of soft and hard materials should always be utilised to prevent this from happening.

Your tooling has to consider radial growth too. If this is quite large the nature of rotary draw means that after your clamp die is released. The radius you have at the start will differ greatly that the one you have at the end of your bend as a result. To compensate for the growth, it’s best to use a bend die that has a smaller radius.
