Forged Elbows Manufacturer
At Steel Icon Stainless Pvt. Ltd., we are a leading manufacturer and exporter of forged elbows, delivering precision-engineered pipe bending solutions that perform under extreme pressure, temperature, and corrosion. Our forged elbows are used across key industries including oil & gas, power generation, petrochemical, shipbuilding, and process piping systems.
Manufactured from premium stainless steel and duplex alloys, our forged elbows meet global standards including ASTM, ASME, MSS, and DIN, ensuring leak-proof and high-performance flow redirection.
What are Forged Elbows?
Forged elbows are pipe fittings used to change the direction of fluid flow in pipelines, typically by 45° or 90°. Unlike cast elbows, forged elbows are made from solid steel billets, offering superior strength, tighter grain structure, and longer service life.
Available in short radius (SR) and long radius (LR) types, forged elbows play a critical role in minimising flow disruption, handling mechanical stress, and ensuring smooth fluid transport across piping systems.

Types of Forged Elbows
- 90° Elbow (SR/LR): Used for sharp directional change in piping.
- 45° Elbow: Provides a smoother directional transition with reduced flow loss.
- Socket Weld Elbow: Welded into high-pressure systems.
- Threaded Elbow: Ideal for threaded pipe assemblies and compact setups.
Applications of Forged Elbows
- Oil & Gas Transmission: Directional bends in high-pressure pipelines.
- Power Plants: High-temp water and steam line transitions.
- Petrochemical Facilities: Redirecting corrosive chemicals.
- Marine Industry: Compact directional bends in confined engine rooms.
- Infrastructure Projects: Efficient layout in complex piping networks.
Benefits of Forged Elbows
- High strength and stress resistance
- Smooth flow transition with minimal pressure drop
- Long service life in extreme environments
- Compatible with SW and threaded piping
- Resistant to thermal expansion and vibration
Frequently Asked Questions
We manufacture 45° and 90° forged elbows in both SR and LR types.
Yes, especially when using SS 316 or Duplex 2205, which offer high corrosion resistance.
They serve similar functions but differ in connection methods – SW is welded, threaded is mechanical.
