What is SS321 stainless steel?

SS321 is a type of stainless steel that includes titanium. This addition helps prevent carbide precipitation at high temperatures, making it more resistant to corrosion and maintaining its strength in demanding exhaust applications.

What does '1D radius' mean for a bend?

A 1D radius means the center of the bend has a radius equal to the tube's diameter. This results in a tighter bend compared to larger radii, which is often necessary when fabricating exhaust systems to fit around chassis components.

Why is mandrel bending important for exhaust tubing?

Mandrel bending uses a supportive mandrel inside the tube during the bending process. This prevents the tube from collapsing or kinking, ensuring a smooth, consistent inner diameter that allows for optimal exhaust gas flow.

About this part

Product Details

Crafted from SS321 stainless steel, this 90-degree mandrel bend elbow features a 1.88-inch outer diameter and a 16-gauge (0.065-inch) wall thickness. The 1D radius means the bend is tight, with the center of the bend having a radius equal to the tube's diameter, making it useful for tight routing in exhaust systems.

The SS321 alloy is known for its excellent high-temperature strength and resistance to corrosion, making it a solid choice for exhaust fabrication where heat and exhaust gases are a concern. Mandrel bending ensures the tube maintains its shape and internal diameter throughout the bend, preventing kinks and restrictions that can impede exhaust flow. This is crucial for performance builds where smooth airflow is important.
