What are the processing techniques for stainless steel tees?

The processing technology for stainless steel tees is as follows:

1. Hot pressing forming of stainless steel tees

Hot pressing of stainless steel tee fittings is the process of flattening a billet larger than the tee diameter to the size of the tee diameter, and opening a hole at the location of the stretched branch pipe; The pipe blank is heated and placed into the forming mold, and a die for stretching the branch pipe is inserted into the pipe blank; Under the action of pressure, the billet is radially compressed, and during the radial compression process, the metal flows towards the branch pipe direction and forms a branch pipe under the stretching of the die. The entire process is achieved through the radial compression of the pipe blank and the stretching process of the branch pipe.

2. Hydraulic bulging of stainless steel tees

The hydraulic bulging of stainless steel tee fittings is a forming process that uses axial compensation of metal materials to bulge out branch pipes. The process involves using a dedicated hydraulic press to inject liquid into a tube blank with a diameter equal to that of a tee. The two horizontal side cylinders of the hydraulic press move synchronously to center and squeeze the tube blank. As the volume of the tube blank decreases, the pressure of the liquid inside the tube blank increases.
