Question:

Can 6061 aluminum tubes be bent?

It's been a long time. Isn't it hard? 20The material is 6061 aluminum tube. The outer diameter is 76, the wall thickness is 1.5mm. Can it be used to bend the pipe? Is it easy to crack? What aluminum can I do if I can't bend it? Urgently!!!

Answer:

6061 of the 1.5, if the bend, you have to heat up a try. Too hard! With gas roast roast
Hello! You said aluminum pipe bender can be used, but you should pay attention to when choosing the bending radius, should choose a slightly larger bending radius, if it is with a mandrel pipe bender is the same, but also pay attention to core material, because aluminum is more soft, if you should bend tubes, but also the bending of aluminum profiles, suggest that you look at Italy no mandrel bending machine, which can be Wanguanzi, can also bend and profile steel, you search the Internet!
6061 of the aluminum tube can bend. It does not harden for a long time.You can bend it with a pipe bender. You should choose a slightly larger bend radius when you choose the radius of the curve.As a kind of high strength aluminum tubes, can be strengthened by heat treatment, annealing, quenching and heat under the condition of rigid plasticity, good welding, gas welding and argon arc welding in aluminum has the tendency of intergranular crack formation; aluminum hardening in quenching and cold after the cutting performance is good, bad in annealing state. The corrosion resistance is not high, in order to improve the corrosion resistance of anodic oxidation treatment and often used methods of paint or aluminum surface layer. Can also be used as a die material.
