Stress-relieved Ti–3Al–2.5 V bent tube in hydraulic bleeding systems improves the overall
performance of advanced aircraft and spacecraft due to its unique high specific strength …

The manufacturing of hollow section profiles using high strength metallic alloys may suffer of
relevant drawbacks such as springback, reduced formability as well as wrinkling, which …

This study presents an optimization approach for the design of a piping inspection robot. A
rigid bio-inspired piping inspection robot that moves like a caterpillar was designed and …

Bent pipes are widely used in many high-end industries as a structural component.
Consequently, pipe roll bending has become an attractive manufacturing technology for …

Abstract The use of High Strength Steel (HSS) tubular components in structural frames
allows a drastic increase of the stiffness-to-weight ratio and, therefore, may open new …

The hot roll bending patchwork components of B1500HS uncoated ultra-high strength steel
processed at industrial scale were welded with filler wire. The microstructure, grain …

The elbow push-bending process involves pushing a tube between a die and a mandrel to
bend a tubular blank into an elbow shape. In this study, the yield was improved by …

In this paper selected aspects of numerical modelling of bending pipes process are
described. Elasto-plastic material model was used in COMSOL FEM environment. The …

The paper presents the potentialities of thermal assisted processing to manufacture bent
hollow profiles in multi-phase High Strength Steels. A new process, named Direct Hot Rotary …

A traditional rotary draw bending die on the numerically controlled (NC) tube benders or
other benders can bend tubes with only one kind of outer diameter. It is difficult for such a …
