Orbital Forming: Flare Tube End 

#TBT
Orbital Forming Lab Job from 2007.
A manufacturer in the agricultural industry partnered with Orbitform to improve their existing press assembly. They were successful in moving the material but not without cracking.
Our solutions lab technicians made a split die and cut the tubes 2.350" long. Using a flare peen and 400 lbs. of force; they were able to form the tube end to 0.410" diameter. Well within the parameters of the customers' specifications which were 0.400' - 0.430".
No cracking was evident; however, we suggested running more sample parts to confirm this confidently.
