90 Degree Aluminum Bend 4.5in O.D. Polished

The 90 Degree Aluminum Bend 4.5in O.D. Polished (SKU: VIB2946) is a precision mandrel-bent tubing component engineered for applications requiring structural durability and corrosion resistance. This aluminum bend serves fabricators, builders, and manufacturers across automotive, aerospace, industrial machinery, and custom welding projects where reliable 90-degree joints are essential. The polished finish enhances both aesthetic appeal and surface protection, making it suitable for visible installations or applications demanding superior corrosion resistance.

Constructed from high-quality aluminum stock with a mandrel-bending process, this 90-degree bend maintains consistent wall thickness of 2.3 mm throughout the entire joint, eliminating the flat spots and material weakening common to non-mandrel alternatives. The 4.5-inch outer diameter and 6.75-inch radius geometry provide optimal structural integrity while the four-inch legs offer sufficient length for welding, bolting, or fastening into larger assemblies. The polished aluminum finish resists oxidation and weathering while maintaining the material's lightweight characteristics—critical for weight-sensitive applications in aerospace, automotive, and portable equipment manufacturing.

This component excels in custom fabrication, exhaust systems, roll cages, frame construction, and fluid or air distribution systems where precise 90-degree angles and repeatable dimensions are mandatory. Aluminum's natural machinability allows secondary drilling, threading, or welding without specialized tooling. The bend's lightweight profile (2.95 lbs) makes it practical for high-volume assemblies where cumulative weight reduction impacts fuel efficiency or payload capacity. Each bend ships as a individual unit and integrates seamlessly into modular construction, offering both prototypers and production facilities a reliable, off-the-shelf solution for quality tubing joints.
