The perspective is a bit off - the angles at the end are about 45
degrees.

I made this one myself out of aluminium tubing, but I've already had
one crack and break at the bend.

So I'm trying to buy a steel one, but I can't even figure out what
to search for.

Sylvia.

OK, thanks guys.

I think I'll try the annealing approach first with aluminium. If it
breaks again, I suppose I'll have to have go at the same method but
with steel.

Don't waste your time.

Whoever suggested annealing it is clueless as annealing aluminium is a
very complex process compared to other metals such as steel or copper,
and unless you know what type of aluminium you're using and what
temperature to heat it to then you're going to achieve absolutely
nothing.

The problem, as mentioned previously, is that you're using the wrong
material for the device you're making. Aluminium tube does *not* like
to be crushed and bent as you're doing, and no amount of "home
annealing" will help you as aluminium needs to be heated to near
melting point to achieve any kind of pliability. Quite simply, it is
far to brittle a material to do with what you're looking to do, and
all you'll manage to make is something that will fail like it already
has.

You'll get far better results using thin wall steel tube while will be
just as easy to form and bend and it can be done cold to the point you
have in the picture without hurting it. Better yet get some 30x5 flat
bar cut to length, bent and drilled as required and your problems will
be solved forever.

just as I suggested. but why have a simple fix when the whole matter can
be complicated to the extreme?

Don't listen to me thought. Waste shitloads of time and money on
something that can be fixed for 10 bucks worth of steel from Bunnings

huh? you can bend plastic conduit?

I knew a guy had a business taking 3" PVC pipe segment about 18"
long and cutting two ten inch slits through them (4 actually). Then
he heats them up in a big tall pot of boiling water. Then he presses
the two ends together and the cnetr splits flex outward. It looks
like a flower when he is done, but he sells them for like $50 each to
the state and they used them as spacers for the refitting of bridge
stanchions. He makes quite a bundle.

To make a good bend on the plastic conduit, one would likely have to
fill it with sand and do it hot like I described. (then empty the
sand of course).

You could buy mild steel tubing and cold-form it (using a hammer etc)

With PVC you can stick a spring inside it and then bend it, then pull the

a hose.

Yep, Noddy is a sociopath, a failed sociopath but a sociopath
nonetheless. Empathy is an emotion incomprehensible to him. Believe it
or not, Noddy harassed a poster, nickname of dawg, here some years ago
and told that poster to *top himself*. The poster subsequently topped
himself IRL but not a shred of empathy, emotion or, for that matter,
feelings of guilt were displayed by Noddy.

He's a loser, no doubt about that!
