In this study, bending of titanium tubes using steel balls in 0.5 and 0.85 mm sizes and resistance heating with experimental and simulation methods have been investigated. In order to apply temperature in rotatory draw bending of tubes, electric current cables were connected to both sides of the tube, and experiments were performed at room temperatures, 100℃, 200℃, 300℃ and 400 with a bending ratio of 1.8 and a bending angle of 90 ° was done. After the experiments, cross-sectional distortion, wrinkles, cracking and thickness distribution of bent tubes were investigated. The results of this study showed that in the case of bending at room temperature with and without metal balls, the tubes could not be bent. In the bending process with a constant speed of 0.8 Rad/s, by placing metal balls inside the tube and increasing the temperature 100℃, 200℃ and 300℃, the thickening in the intrados of ​​the bent tube decreased by 9.8% and the thinning at the extrados of the bent tube increased by 8.4%. Also, by changing the bending speed from 0.8 to 0.4 Rad/s the cracking defect was eliminated at 400. Due to increased pressure due to steel balls in bending area, cross section distortion in tubes decreased by 10.4%. The best bending conditions and the least amount of defects were obtained at 300℃ with steel balls.
