What is a 1D radius bend?

A 1D radius bend means the center of the bend is one times the diameter of the tubing away from the tube's edge. For this 2.5-inch tube, the center of the bend is 2.5 inches from the outside of the tube, creating a tight, compact curve.

Why is SS321 stainless steel used for exhaust components?

SS321 stainless steel is chosen for its excellent strength and resistance to high temperatures and corrosion. The addition of titanium stabilizes the material at high heat, preventing issues that can occur in standard stainless steels.

What is the benefit of mandrel bending?

Mandrel bending ensures the tube's diameter remains consistent throughout the bend. This prevents kinking or collapsing, which is important for maintaining smooth exhaust flow and maximizing performance.

About this part

Product Details

This 90-degree elbow is made from SS321 stainless steel, a material known for its strength and resistance to high temperatures, making it a solid choice for exhaust fabrication projects. The tubing measures 2.5 inches in diameter with a 16-gauge wall thickness, which is .065 inches. This specific bend features a 1D radius, meaning the center of the bend is one times the diameter of the tubing away from the tube's edge. This tight radius allows for a compact bend, useful when space is limited in custom exhaust systems.

The mandrel bending process ensures that the tube maintains its full diameter throughout the bend, preventing kinks or flat spots that could restrict exhaust flow. This is crucial for performance applications where smooth airflow is important. The SS321 alloy also contains titanium, which helps stabilize the carbide precipitation at high temperatures, improving its corrosion resistance and durability in demanding exhaust environments.
