What Are Easyway Bends?

Easyway Bends

Easyway bends in steel refer to the process of bending a steel member around its weak axis, also known as the y-y axis. This method is generally easier to perform compared to hardway bends, as the steel offers less resistance along its weak axis. However, easyway bends often result in greater distortion and concavity on the inside of the bend due to the difference in the sides of the tubing. This technique is commonly used for applications where the structural integrity of the steel is less crucial, and achieving a specific shape or curve is more important.
