What is SS321 stainless steel?

SS321 is a type of stainless steel that includes titanium. This addition helps stabilize the material at high temperatures and improves its resistance to corrosion, making it a solid choice for exhaust systems.

What does '1.5D radius' mean for this bend?

The '1.5D radius' refers to the bend's tightness. It means the center of the bend is 1.5 times the tube's outer diameter away from the edge of the tube. A tighter radius like this is useful for fitting exhaust systems into tight spaces.

What is the advantage of mandrel bending?

Mandrel bending shapes the tube without collapsing or kinking it. This ensures the inside diameter stays consistent throughout the bend, which is important for maintaining smooth exhaust gas flow and preventing backpressure.

About this part

Product Details

This is a 90-degree mandrel bend elbow from Stainless Bros, made from SS321 stainless steel. It features a 1.5-inch outer diameter with a 1.5-diameter-ratio (1.5D) radius, meaning the center of the bend is 1.5 times the tube's diameter away from the tube's edge. The wall thickness is 16 gauge, or 0.065 inches, which is a solid choice for exhaust work.

The SS321 stainless steel is a good material for exhaust components because it offers improved corrosion resistance and can handle high temperatures well, especially compared to standard 304 stainless steel, due to the addition of titanium. Mandrel bending ensures that the tube maintains its diameter throughout the bend, which is crucial for smooth exhaust flow and preventing restrictions. This is the kind of part you'd use when fabricating a custom exhaust system, connecting different sections or routing the pipe around obstacles.
