Forming process where a pipe clamped by its ends is be pulled and stretched over a template. Beskrivning The process The workpiece, in this case a tube is clamped by its ends [1]. An axial pulling force applied to the pipe as it is pulled towards and over the template [2] radius so that the tube is bent by plastic deformation. Thanks to the applied axial force, compression forces in the tube inner bending radius are avoided. Stretch bending of Tubes Process films Advantages and disadvantages In comparison with alternative methods bending without pressing forces in the material Thinner wall thicknesses required
