A mandrel is a crucial component in tube and pipe manufacturing, serving as a guide to shape the material into the desired form. This cylindrical rod, typically made from steel or brass, is inserted within the workpiece during the bending process, ensuring uniformity, accuracy, and maintaining the roundness of the final product. The mandrel plays an essential role in preserving the internal dimensions of the tube or pipe as well, making it a vital tool for high-quality production.
