Why Won’t This Tube Expand
When expanding heat exchanger tubes, achieving the proper wall reduction is crucial for a secure and leak-free seal. Sometimes, however, tubes fail to expand sufficiently, hindering the integrity of the vessel. This article outlines common causes and troubleshooting steps for incomplete tube expansion.
Troubleshooting Common Challenges in ID Roller Burnishing
Roller burnishing, while a powerful technique for enhancing part durability and surface finish, can present certain challenges if not executed with precision. Understanding and addressing these common issues is crucial for achieving optimal results and avoiding costly rework.
Enhanced Part Durability: The Power of Roller Burnishing
In manufacturing, enhanced part durability is a constant pursuit. Roller burnishing, a cold working process, is a powerful technique to achieve this goal. By densifying and hardening the outer surface of a component, roller burnishing significantly improves its resistance to wear and premature failure, extending its operational lifespan and boosting overall performance. This process fundamentally alters the material's properties, leading to tangible improvements in durability and reliability.
Expanding Thicker Tube Sheets in Heat Exchangers: A Practical Guide for Operators
