Total Quality Tubing
Special Metals seamless tubular products are
made to the highest quality standards in the
industry, and have been proven in some of the
most arduous service environments.
The general engineering alloys are air-melted and
AOD refined. Superalloy tubing is vacuum induc-
tion melted. Tubular products can be remelted
and refined by vacuum arc or electroslag processes.
Primary hot working operations for billets include
rolling, forging and extrusion, followed by cold
working, tube reducing (pilgering) or drawing,
according to the alloy, size and finish required
by the customer.
Strict quality controls are applied at every pro-
cessing stage, all described and published in
quality assurance procedures. The manufacturing
history of every product is fully traceable. Testing
facilities for the tubular products include ultrasonic,
hydrostatic, eddy current, and boroscope/
intrascope.
State-of-the-art production equipment is backed
up by computer-based inquiry and order process-
ing systems. Commercial and technical specialists
track every order through every processing
operation. Up-to-the-minute information on order
status is available from the computer systems.
Technical assistance on alloy evalution and selec-
tion for specific applications is available from
Special Metals, the worlds most experienced
producer of high-performance nickel-base alloys.

Forming of Tube and Pipe
All common forming operations such as bending,
coiling and expanding can readily be performed
on tube and pipe made by Special Metals. In gen-
eral, material in the annealed condition is recom-
mended. MONEL alloy 400, Nickel 200 and Nickel
201 can be formed in the stress-relieved temper.
However, the amount of deformation will be limit-
ed by the higher tensile strength and lower ductil-
ity. In bending, the minimum radius to which
stress-relieved tubing can be bent is 25 - 50%
greater than for annealed tubing of the same size.
Bending and Coiling
Standard methods of bending include ram or
press bending, roll bending, stationary-die bend-
ing, and rotating-die bending. Tubing and pipe of
the MONEL, INCONEL and INCOLOY alloys are
readily bent by any of these procedures.
An important precaution to observe in all bending
is to allow maximum radii to ensure that applied
stresses are as evenly distributed as possible.
The minimum radii to which nickel alloy tubing
can be bent by various methods are given in the
table on this page which should be used as a guide
to general limitations. Depending on equipment
design, tube size and quality of the finished bend,
it is possible to bend to smaller radii than those
listed. However, when smaller radii are necessary,
trial bends should be made to determine if the
desired bend is possible.
Bending without Mandrels or Fillers
In bending with no internal support, the dies
should be slightly smaller than those used with
a mandrel or filler. Bending without use of a man-
drel or filler is suitable only for tube and pipe that
have a wall thickness greater than 7%of the out-
side diameter, or for bends of large radii. Nickel
alloy tube in sizes within the above ratio can be
bent with no mandrel or filler to a minimum
mean radius three times the outside diameter
of the tube (3D) through 180 degrees.
Bending with Mandrels or Fillers
Thin-wall tubing may be bent to small radii without
wrinkling by use of a mandrel or filler. Thin-wall tubing
in high nickel alloys may be mandrel-bent through
180 degrees to a minimum radius of 2D.
To minimize galling of the inside surface of the tube,
mandrels should be made of hard alloy bronze rather
than steel. Steel mandrels may be used but should be
chromium plated to reduce galling.
Mandrels must be lubricated before use. Lubricants of
extreme-pressure, chlorinated oil are best for severe
bending. For less severe bending or for ease of removal,
water-soluble lubricants are used.
Any of the standard filler materials such as sand, resin,
and low-melting-point alloys may be used. Sand is
the least desirable because it is difficult to pack tightly
and can lead to the formation of wrinkles or kinks
during bending.
Low-melting-alloy fillers produce the best bends. Their
expansion characteristics ensure that voids are elimi-
nated and a sound center is created. Alloy fillers are
removed by heating the bent tube in steam or hot
water. Metallic fillers must not be removed by direct
torch heating since they contain elements such as
lead, tin, and bismuth which will embrittle the high-
nickel alloys at elevated temperatures. It is imperative
that all traces of metallic fillers are removed before
fabrication and service.

Forming of Tube and Pipe (continued)
Press Bending
Press or ram bending, in which the tube is held
by two supporting dies and a force is applied
between the dies (see Figure 1), is normally used
only for heavy-wall tubing where some flattening
is tolerable. This method does not provide close
tolerances and is applicable only to large radius
bends. The bend is limited to 120 degrees, and
the radius of the bend should not be less than
six times the outside diameter of the tube. A filler
material should be used if bends of radii less
than 6 x OD are to be made.
Pressure blocks used in press bending should be
at least twice the outside diameter of the tube in
length. Press bending with wing dies is used for
unfilled, thin-wall, large-diameter tube.
Annealed tubing is not always preferred for press
bending. Annealed tubing of low base hardness
does not have sufficient stiffness to withstand
deformation without excessive flattening.
Consequently, nickel and the MONEL nickel-
copper alloys are usually press bent in the stress-
relieved temper. The chromium-containing
INCOLOY and INCONEL alloys have higher
mechanical properties in the annealed condition
than nickel and the nickel-copper alloys and
should be press-bent in the annealed temper.
Ideally, the choice of temper for a specific bend
is determined by several trial bends.

Roll Bending
Roll bending (Figure 2) is the principal method
of producing helical coils, spirals, and circular
configurations since an included angle of 360
degrees can be obtained. Bending may be done
on either unfilled or filled tube. The minimum
bend radius for unfilled tube is approximately
six times the outside diameter of the tube.
Stationary-die Bending
Stationary-die bending (Figure 3) utilizes a sta-
tionary bending die and a movable pressure die.
This method is not suitable for thin-wall tubing
and is generally used with no mandrel support.
Stationary-die bending can produce bend radii
down to 2 x OD but is normally used only for
large-radius bends. The maximum included
angle that can be produced is 180 degrees.
Rotating-die Bending
Rotating-die bending is the most common bend-
ing process and is the preferred method for
bending nickel alloy tube. The process is similar
to stationary-die bending except that the bending
die revolves and the wiper block remains stationary.
Rotating-die bending machines may have either
a fixed wiper block (Figure 4) or a sliding wiper
block (Figure 5). The sliding wiper block is pre-
ferred because it distributes the applied stresses
more evenly.
19
Tubing can be bent as much as 180 degrees with
a minimum radius of 2 x OD by rotary bending.
Although bending can be done without a mandrel,
a mandrel is generally preferred and must be used
when the ratio of tube diameter to wall thickness
is above the limit suitable for bending without
wrinkling or collapsing of the tube. Various types
of mandrel are used including ball and straight-
plug types.
Expanding Heat-exchanger Tube
Tubing of the MONEL, INCONEL and INCOLOY
alloys can be expanded into tube sheets by any
conventional method. Some design factors which
must be taken into consideration in expanding or
rolling tubing include thickness of the tube sheet,
wall thickness of the tube, tube spacing or liga-
ment between tube-sheet holes, rolling practice,
clearance between tube and hole, and the relative
hardnesses of the tubes and tube sheets. If an
unfamiliar design is being used, trial tests should
be performed to determine if difficulties may be
encountered in expanding.
The oversize allowance on tube-sheet holes to the
nominal outside diameter of the tube should be
kept to a minimum. The tube-sheet hole should
be 0.004 to 0.008 in (0.10 to 0.20 mm) larger
than the nominal outside diameter of the tube
for tubing less than 1 in (38 mm) OD. For larger
tubing the oversize-allowance should be 0.009 to
0.010 in (0.23 to 0.25 mm).
Procedure
Expanding may be done by drifting with sectional
expanders or, preferably, by rolling with three-
roll expanders. The ends of rolled-in tubing are
flared in the conventional manner.
The tube-sheet hole and both the outside and
inside surfaces of the tube must be free of all
matter such as oxide, dirt and oil. The ends of
the tube should also be deburred before rolling.
Lubrication should be provided between the
rollers of the tool and the inside surface of the
tube. Any sulfur-free mineral oil or lard oil, either
diluted or straight, may be used. Lubricants that
contain embrittling or contaminating elements
such as sulfur or lead should be avoided because
of the difficulty of cleaning the finished assembly.
Controlled rolling equipment should be used to
prevent over-expanding the tubes. Over-expand-
ing may distort the tube sheet and plastically
deform the tube-sheet ligaments, causing loose-
fitting tubes. This is particularly true when the
tube has a higher hardness than the tube sheet
or a significantly higher work-hardening rate.
Material Temper
The tube sheet should be harder than the tube
being rolled into it, otherwise springback in the
tube may be greater than in the tube sheet, causing
a gap between the two when the expanding tool is
removed. For that reason, tube sheets are usually
supplied in the as-rolled or as-forged temper and
tube in the annealed temper. It is particularly
important for the tube sheet to be harder than
the tube when the sheet is thinner than the out-
side diameter of the tube or when the tubes are
closely spaced. Tubes are closely spaced when
the tube-sheet ligament is less than the greater
of 25%of the outside diameter or in (6 mm).
Stress-relieved tubing may be slightly harder
than the tube sheet but can be expanded to form
a satisfactory connection if greater care is exer-
cised in expanding. For greater assurance of pres-
sure tightness, a seal weld may be placed around
the end of the tube after expanding. The stress-
relieved temper is suitable for either welding
or silver brazing.
If rolling of stress-relieved tube appears to be a
marginal operation, the problem can often be
remedied by using annealed tube or stress-
relieved tube with the ends annealed. Stress-
relieved, end-annealed tubing combines the
strength advantage of stress-relieved material
with the ease of fabrication of annealed material.
Tubing in the annealed condition is used when
optimum rolling or expanding characteristics are
desired or when severe cold-bending and flaring
are to be done.
Miscellaneous Forming Operations
Flanging, bulging, swaging, and other expanding
or reducing operations can be readily performed
on tube and pipe of the high-nickel alloys. Many
such operations are variations of those discussed
in this section, and comments made on specific
operations will also apply to the variations.
Extremely severe or complex forming operations
may require that the material be given one or
more intermediate anneals to prevent rupturing
from excessive cold work.

Welding and Fabrication
For many applications, the corrosion- and
heat-resistant tubular products have to be
fabricated and welded. The MONEL, INCONEL
and INCOLOY alloy products are amenable
to these processes. Full details on processes
and techniques can be obtained from our website,
www.specialmetals.com, or from any of our
offices listed on the back of this publication.
Matched composition welding electrodes and
filler metals are available for many of the tubular
products. The main examples are listed below.
Where a choice is indicated, the selection should
be made to suit the welding process and/or the
service conditions. Advice on the optimum
selection is available.

Calculated Weights of Tubular Products
The table on page 23 shows calculated weights for
cold-worked and extruded tubing and ASA
Schedule pipe, in lb/ft and kg/m. Note that, in
practice, small differences can occur due to varia-
tions in dimensions within permitted tolerances.
Calculated Weights
To determine the weight in pounds per linear foot
or kilograms per linear meter of seamless tube or
pipe, use the calculations on page 23.
When the O.D. is given, subtract the
wall thickness from the O.D., multiply
by the wall thickness, then multiply
by the factors on page 23.
When the I.D. is given, add the wall
thickness to the I.D., multiply by the
wall thickness, then multiply by the
factors on page 23.

Service Pressure
The ASTM tubing specifications do not include
any recommended service pressure or any elevat-
ed temperature pressure requirements. However,
throughout the tubing and pipe industry, Barlows
Formula is commonly used to estimate the theo-
retical internal bursting and working pressures of
tubing.
Using this formula, reasonable estimated burst
pressures can be calculated. Yield pressures can
be estimated as well by substituting Y (yield
strength of material, psi) for S in the formula.
A reasonable working pressure is derived by
dividing the estimated burst pressure by 4,
yielding a 4 to 1 safety factor margin.
Simply stated, Barlows Formula is:
P = 2 St / D
Where:
P =Burst Pressure, psi
S =Tensile strength of material, psi
t =Wall thickness, inches
D =Outside diameter, inches
