Induction Bending
Induction Bending is a CNC steel bending service offered by Kubes Steel. A bending force is applied while simultaneously applying an electromagnetic current to heat a small section of steel, resulting in very smooth bends. We offer up to 30″ diameter induction bending of Pipe & Tube, & 24″ by 24″ for HSS. Contact us today, or watch our induction bending videos to see more.

Kubes Steel supplies high quality, economical induction bending for pipe and structural sections for the North American market. Kubes can induction bend pipe up to 30″ (762mm) with high precision.
Advanced PLC induction pipe bending equipment ensures a quality product. We always record and control the key parameters of temperature, bend speed, angle and power.
Our experienced inspection team ensures the dimensions are correct and other parameters critical for conformance are met.
Typical markets for induction pipe bending we supply are: Mining and Quarrying, Oil and Gas, Ship Building and Construction.
Induction Bending Projects:
Induction Bending of over 1000 plate segments. This job required induction bending of heavy plate for our customer in the metals industry. The plates were 1 1/8” thick – Induction Bending allowed for plates to be formed with tight radius without cracking.
The North Market Building of the St. Lawrence Market complex in Toronto, Ontario is currently undergoing a major redevelopment project requiring the replacement of all structural sections. Kubes Steel is Induction Bending all of the structural beams for the roof. You can see the Architecturally Exposed Structural Steel roof beams in the artist’s rendering of…
At Kubes Steel, induction bending is one of our specialties. Our skilled operator performed the induction bending service on these thick stainless steel pipe sections. Due to the thickness, careful preparation had to be taken to ensure a proper bend without damaging the pieces.
Kubes Steel is your one stop shop for fabrication. We provided all the services needed to fabricate this 30 ton heavy industrial lift ring, including connector fittings, cold bending and welding. All pieces are load tested in the shop and will be delivered to the customer ready to assemble.
Our team induction bends sections of pipe to customer requirements and inspects the finished product.
Sections of HSS with dimensions 12x4x3/8 gets bent to a 90° angle on the Kubes Steel Induction Bender.

Kubes Steel was a contractor for the curved feature for the new U.S. Embassy in London, UK. The aluminum used was extruded, cast or fabricated. The head mounts on the roof that the structure hangs from are carbon steel rolled on Kubes Steel’s Roundo R13 and also bent on the Kubes Induction Bender. All fasteners…
