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 cracking in demanding exhaust applications.

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

The '1.5D' refers to the centerline radius of the bend. It means the center of the bend is 1.5 times the diameter of the tubing away from the center of the tubing itself. For a 2-inch tube, this results in a relatively tight bend.

What is the advantage of a mandrel bend over a crush bend?

Mandrel bending uses a support tool inside the tubing to maintain its shape during the bending process. This prevents the tube from collapsing or kinking, ensuring a consistent inner diameter and smoother exhaust flow compared to crush bends.

Product Details

This is a 2-inch diameter, 45-degree mandrel bend elbow from Stainless Bros, made from SS321 stainless steel with a 16-gauge wall thickness. It's designed for custom exhaust system fabrication, allowing you to create smooth, tight bends without kinking the tubing. The 1.5D radius means the center of the bend is 1.5 times the tube diameter away from the tube's center, offering a relatively tight turn suitable for many applications.

The SS321 stainless steel is a popular choice for exhaust components because it offers good corrosion resistance and can handle the high temperatures found in exhaust systems. Mandrel bending ensures the inside diameter of the tubing remains consistent throughout the bend, which helps maintain exhaust flow and prevents restrictions that can hurt performance. This elbow is a leg piece, meaning it has straight sections on either end for easier welding and integration into your custom exhaust build.
