Materials for Custom Tube Bending Parts
When it comes to manufacturing processes for tube bending, the material choosing is very important. The selection of materials plays a critical role in ensuring components’ performance, strength, and longevity. NOBLE’s tube bending services are for manufacturing custom round tubes in a variety of shapes and materials.
Stainless Steel
Because of its exceptional corrosion resistance, stainless steel can be used in a variety of automotive applications. It is perfect for tube bending due to its high strength and ductility, which guarantees the component’s durability and structural integrity.
Aluminum
Aluminum has outstanding heat conductivity, is lightweight, and is formable. These qualities make it a popular choice for automotive components.
Titanium
Titanium has remarkable strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature performance despite its comparatively high cost.
Surface Finishes for Tube Bending
NOBLE can help improve the surface qualities of your products by offering a diverse range of surface finishes. Surface finishes on your customized parts aim to improve their appearance, surface hardness, and roughness, chemical and corrosion resistance, and so on. Here are some of your best options.
Anodizing
Anodizing improves corrosion resistance, enhancing wear resistance and hardness, and protecting the metal surface. Widely used in mechanical parts, aircraft, and automobile parts, precision instruments, etc.
Materials: Aluminum
Color: Clear, black, grey, red, blue, gold.
Texture: Smooth, matte finish
Powder Coating
Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint which is delivered via an evaporating solvent, powder coating is typically applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light.
Materials: Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Steel
Color: Black, any RAL code or Pantone number
Texture: Gloss or semi-gloss
Electroplating
Electroplating can be functional, decorative or corrosion-related. Many industries use the process, including the automotive sector, in which chrome-plating of steel automobile parts is common.
Materials: Aluminum, steel, Stainless Steel
Color: N/A
Texture: Smooth, Glossy finish
Polishing
Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface, either through physical rubbing of the part or by chemical interference. The process produces a surface with significant specular reflection, but in some materials is able to reduce diffuse reflection.
Materials: Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel, Steel
Color: N/A
Texture: Glossy
Brushing
Brushing is a surface treatment process in which abrasive belts are used to draw traces on the surface of a material, usually for aesthetic purposes.
Materials: ABS, Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel, Steel
Color: N/A
Texture: Satin

Senior Engineer
Dave stashko
As a Mechanical Engineer, it’s always a pleasure to receive parts that look exactly like my CAD design. Great quality and precision on the parts, and finishing options such as sandblasting, anodizing, and silk printing are great (and all that for really good pricing). Good communication throughout the orders which makes things easy! NOBLE is professional, parts are well-packed for shipping. Recommend!
Designer
Andy Mandarino
I’ve been working with Kevin and the team for 3 years now for prototyping and early-stage development, and it couldn’t have been better. On-time, professional, fast turnaround, continuous availability and updates, and most importantly, extensive review before any part is put into production. I am always impressed by the tight tolerances achieved even on the largest parts
Project Engineer
Greg Reginelli
The NOBLE team is great. Great communication, fast response times, and the quality show in the end product. They have a strong engineering background and aren’t afraid of challenging projects. It is rare to find fast and affordable prototypes so it is very much worth quoting a project with them.

Tube Bending FAQs
Tube bending is the metalworking process of bending tubes and pipes into various shapes for different metal fabrication purposes. Tubes formed out of the tube bending process are not limited to any particular metal, the process works on different materials including most metals and alloys.
Most tube bending technology requires a set of dies to hold the tubes and to apply pressure on them for bending purposes. The main dies used for this purpose are clamp die, bend die, and pressure die. Clamp dies are generally stationary, while the pressure die applies force to create the bend.
Tube bending for custom fabrication allows for high design flexibility and can be used to create highly intricate designs. As such, customization and specific requirements are achieved easily. The flexibility of custom tube bending provides security and confidence in all designs.
Tube bending is any metal-forming process used to permanently form pipes or tubing. Tube bending may be form-bound or use freeform-bending procedures, and it may use heat-supported or cold-forming procedures.
