Carbon steel elbow is a common pipe connector used to change the direction of the pipe. It has the following molding features:
1. Material selection: carbon steel elbow is generally made of carbon steel material, with high strength and corrosion resistance. Carbon steel has good plasticity and weldability, making the elbow easier to process and weld during the forming process.
2. Manufacturing process: The manufacturing process of carbon steel elbow generally includes two methods: hot extrusion and cold extrusion. Hot extrusion is the carbon steel billet heated to the plastic temperature, under the action of the extruder through the mold extrusion molding. Cold extrusion is done directly through the extrusion press at room temperature.
3. Forming method: The forming method of carbon steel elbow includes cold bending and hot bending. Cold bending refers to bending the pipe to the desired Angle by mechanical force or liquid pressure at normal temperature. Hot bending is the bending of the pipe by mechanical force after heating.
4. Bending radius: The bending radius of carbon steel elbow is an important parameter to be considered during the molding process. The smaller the bending radius, the greater the bending degree of the elbow, but it will also increase the stress and deformation of the pipeline. Therefore, it is necessary to select the appropriate bending radius according to the actual use requirements and pipeline parameters in the design and design.
