Experimental Study on Laser Threaded Bending of Stainless Steel Pipes
Laser bending of pipes has significant advantages over traditional pipe bending methods.It of fers high bending precision and has a wide range of applications,making it a promising new plastic forming process.Complex 3D pipe bending can be seen as a combination of continuous one-directional bending along its axis at different points.In this study,a segmented approach was used to experimentally investigate the process of thread-like bending of a φ10 mm×2 mm(outer diameter×thickness)304L stainless steel pipe.The research explores the manufacturing process of thread-like bending for pipes.
