What is the Difference Between Aluminum 6061 & Aluminum 6063?
February 25, 2022
Aluminum 6061 and aluminum 6063 have very similar compositions and mechanical properties. Both alloys contain a percentage of magnesium to offer increased strength, as well as a percentage of silicon to lower the temperature at which they melt. Due to their excellent formability, both 6061 & 6063 can be used to make a variety of metal extrusions, including angle, bar, and tubing.
How Triad Bends Copper Tubing
February 4, 2022
Copper, as a tubing material, offers excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, making it a preferred choice for a wide variety of applications, including residential and commercial plumping, refrigeration and supply lines, cooling components for lasers, laboratory testing equipment, and more. While copper is known for its formability, it is very difficult to bend without it kinking or collapsing. As such, in order to achieve your desired result, custom copper tube bending often requires extreme caution and access to the proper tools or machinery.
Custom Tube Bending Techniques: Rotary Draw Bending
December 2, 2021
Rotary draw tube bending is a popular and versatile method of bending metal tubes and pipes that allows varying degrees of bending while maintaining a constant centerline radius (CLR). The rotary draw pipe bending technique is slower than other methods but has significantly fewer limitations. This pipe bending technique provides the control and flexibility to bend tight or loose radiuses and creates smaller center line radius bends.
Custom Tube Bending Techniques: Ram Bending
December 1, 2020
Pipe and tube ram bending is a simple and cost-effective tube bending technique compatible with square or round tubing. While effective and efficient, this tube bending technique provides less control and has more limitations than other types of tube bending. Pipe and tube ram bending is best suited for projects that do not require a tight tolerance and have a limited number of radiuses.
