Carbon steel elbow is a common pipe connector used to change the direction of the pipe. There are many ways of making carbon steel elbows, and the following will introduce several common ways of making them.
1. Hot forming method
Hot forming is a common way to make carbon steel head, the specific steps are as follows:
(1) With the appropriate carbon steel material, determine the size and bending Angle of the elbow as needed.
(2) The selected carbon steel material is heated to the appropriate temperature, generally about 1000 ° C.
(3) Bending on the carbon steel material after heating can be done by using a special elbow forming machine, which can be formed by hand.
(4) The formed carbon steel elbow needs to be cooled and annealed to eliminate stress and increase the strength and toughness of the elbow.
