What is Tube Bending?

Tube bending is a process used to permanently shape metal tubing into desired angles or curves without compromising strength or integrity. At Yicen Precision, we offer precision tube bending services for a variety of industries, delivering accurate bends for frames, handles, hydraulic lines, and more.

Tolerance Table for Tube Bending

Parameter Specification
Dimensional Tolerance ±0.5 mm to ±1.0 mm
Bend Angle Tolerance ±0.5° to ±1.0°
Ovality (Out-of-Roundness) ≤ 10% of tube diameter
Wall Thickness Variation ±10% (depends on bend radius & tube spec)
Centerline Radius Tolerance ±0.5 mm to ±1.0 mm
Minimum Bend Radius ≥ 1.5× tube OD (material-dependent)

Accurate Tube Bending for Custom Formed Components

Yicen Precision provides tube bending services to shape metal tubes into precise angles and curves without compromising structural integrity. We support a variety of materials and diameters for automotive, furniture, and industrial applications. Our machines ensure smooth, wrinkle-free bends with consistent geometry across production runs.

Surface Finishing for Tube Bending

Yicen Precision offers a variety of finishing options tailored to your project needs.

As-Bent Finish

 The default finish immediately following bending. Surfaces may exhibit minor marks, distortions, or discoloration due to forming stresses. Surface roughness may also be present.

Bead Blasting

 Applies a consistent matte or satin finish by blasting the surface with fine media. This process helps remove oxidation and create a clean, uniform appearance.

Powder Coating

Applies a durable, protective layer available in various colors and textures, offering excellent corrosion resistance and a finished, aesthetic appearance.

Grinding

Used to smooth uneven areas or surface imperfections that may result from the bending process, especially on tight radii.

Polishing

 Delivers a smooth, reflective surface ideal for applications where aesthetics and low surface friction are important.

Heat Treatment (Optional)

 In specific applications, post-bend heat treatment may be applied to relieve internal stresses and improve dimensional stability

Anodizing (for Aluminum Tubes)

Creates a protective oxide layer that enhances corrosion resistance and allows for decorative coloring, ideal for lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum tubes.

Passivation

 Recommended for stainless steel tubes. This chemical treatment removes surface contaminants, enhances corrosion resistance, and restores the protective oxide layer.

Seamless Curves, Flawless Function With Tube Bending by Yicen Precision

When strength, form, and function must come together without compromise, Tube Bending becomes essential. At Yicen Precision, we offer precision tube bending services that transform straight metal tubes into high-performance components for demanding applications. Whether it’s for structural integrity, aesthetic design, or tight-fitting assemblies, our tube bending solutions deliver the quality and consistency you need.

Why Choose Tube Bending Over Welded Assemblies?

  • Fewer Joints: Reduces the need for welding or connectors, improving structural integrity and minimizing leak points.
  • Improved Flow: Smooth curves maintain internal flow characteristics, ideal for hydraulic, fuel, and HVAC systems.
  • Streamlined Design: Curved tubing supports sleek, modern aesthetics in furniture, automotive, and architecture.
  • Cost-Efficient: Fewer parts and less welding mean reduced assembly time and cost.

Precision in Every Bend

Yicen Precision utilizes CNC-controlled tube bending machines capable of producing tight-radius and multi-axis bends with remarkable accuracy. Our bending techniques include:

  • Rotary Draw Bending – Ideal for precise bends in thinner-walled tubes.
  • Mandrel Bending – Prevents wrinkling and flattening in tight-radius bends.
  • Roll Bending – Best for sweeping, large-radius curves.

Materials We Work With

We bend a wide variety of metals, including:

  • Stainless steel
  • Aluminum
  • Mild steel
  • Copper
  • Brass

Each material requires specific tooling and bending parameters, and our experts ensure every part is produced to spec without cracks, wrinkles, or deformations.

Industries That Trust Our Tube Bending

  • Automotive: Brake lines, roll cages, exhaust systems
  • Aerospace: Hydraulic tubing, fluid transfer systems
  • Medical: Stainless-steel frameworks and equipment supports
  • Furniture: Designer chair and table frames
  • Construction: Railings, supports, and piping

Why Yicen Precision?
