[Column] Three Reasons Why Bending Titanium Pipes is Difficult

Processing hardening is likely to occur, and be cautious of bending cracks in the areas where force is applied! Here are the key points to consider when doing so.

Titanium pipes are lightweight and strong, but on the other hand, they are also metals that are difficult to bend due to their high strength. In particular, titanium alloys, which combine titanium with other metals, have high strength and are not suitable for bending. On the other hand, pure titanium does not have such high strength, so bending is possible; however, it is important to note that there is significant springback, where the material returns to its original shape after processing. To shape it according to the drawings, one must work while considering the springback. In this article, we will explore the reasons why bending titanium pipes is difficult and the key points to keep in mind during the process.
