Could you explain the advantage of the swedged tubes?
Obviously, the larger diameter produces greater cross sectional strength in the center, but doesn't the narrowed diameter create a stress point?
Doesn't the mechanical swedgeing process work harden the material, which would further weaken the material at the diametrical transition?.
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.
