How to Reduce Wear and Improve Accuracy in Tube Forming
Tube forming places extreme demands on tooling. High pressures, abrasive particles, and also the risk of galling often result in premature wear, dimensional instability, and unplanned downtime. Conventional steels frequently fail under these conditions, driving up replacement costs and lowering productivity.
Our technical paper provides an in-depth look at the challenges in tube forming and demonstrates how AMPCO® aluminum bronze alloys deliver proven improvements.
Key insights include:
-
How AMPCO® alloys reduce galling, adhesion, and scoring compared to conventional steels.
-
Application-specific advantages for forming rolls, welding rolls, sizing rolls, and end forming tools.
-
Technical data on wear resistance, polishability, and dimensional stability under continuous load.
-
Economic benefits of longer service intervals, reduced scrap, and improved process efficiency.
