Pipe forming
Success can be shaped – swaging pipes.
Forming technology
• Forming seamless or welded pipes
• Forging/thickening of pipe material by up to 200% of
pipe wall thickness
• Reduction down to solid material possible
• Greater safety as forming eliminates all weld seams
• High loading capacity thanks to homogenous wrought grain flow
• Hardening of material in forged area
• High cost-efficiency due to
a) optimum use of material
b) low tool costs
Materials:
• Structural steels
• Case-hardened steels
• Tempering steels
• Special steels
• Brass
• Copper
• Gas spring casing
• Pipe turnbuckle sleeves
Dimensions:
• Round pipes with outer diameter of 17.2 mm – 101.6 mm
• Round pipes with wall thickness of 1.6 mm - 10 mm
Forming technique:
• Cold forming
• Hot forming using induction heating
