Hello,
I am looking for any information (techniques or tools) for bending hypodermic stainless steel tubing. This is fairly thin tubing with the following characteristics:
Type 316 stainless
2.11mm OD (0.072") 0.0100" wall thickness ID: 1.6mmWe need to have 90 degree bends, but with a radius that will be safe enough so the material does not crinkle or rip.
With this information, what tool or techniques are available? I have heard that one could fit a wire inside the stainless steel tube to provide support while bending. Or use some melted Delrin to offer support.
Thanks for any help. Mike McWhinney
