Abstract

This paper discusses about the effect of processing speed and water flow rate on the mechanical properties of the hot induction bending of grade API5LX70 for the bending angle of 30o with the bending radius of 3D. Water flow rate & speed of the bending machine were varied to optimize the process parameters with respect to mechanical properties.
