Ticon 1.5in Aluminum 6061 180 Degree Mandrel Bend - 1.5D Radius

This Ticon aluminum tubing features a 1.5D radius bend, meaning the center line of the bend is 1.5 times the diameter of the tube away from the tube's center. This specific radius is often chosen for applications where space is tight but a smooth, consistent flow is still critical, like custom exhaust or intake systems. The material is Aluminum 6061, a well-known alloy for its good strength and corrosion resistance, making it a solid choice for fabrication projects.

The bend itself is mandrel-formed, which ensures the tube maintains its full diameter and shape throughout the curve. This is important because it prevents the tube from collapsing or kinking, which would restrict airflow. This 180-degree bend is a common component for builders creating custom exhaust headers, intercooler piping, or other specialized intake and exhaust routing where a tight turnaround is needed.
