Bending Stainless Steel Sheet Radius

Measure and mark the bend location along one edge of the stainless steel sheet with the tape measure and awl.

Bending stainless steel sheet radius.

Determine your minimum bend by measuring the distance from your closest feature i e. For most applications with stainless steel or aluminum you can get away with a zero radius bend on anything under 0 050 thick. To use the tables below. The tool can calculate the required bending force for bending aluminum stainless steel mild steel and weldox or strenx high strength steels.

Discover all our calculation tools in the calculators section of the top menu. 3 the percentage of elongation of stainless steel plate is lower than the carbon steel the bending angle of the workpiece r is larger than that of carbon steel or there is the possibility of cracks. First we must start with the k factor. It just won t really be at maximum strength.

If you re bending 0 020 thick material use a 0 020 radius. The bending angle is 90 sheet thickness 5 mm and the inside radius is 6 mm. Another way to determine the k factor is by following the rule of thumb. Place a second bend mark on the edge of the stainless steel sheet parallel to the edge you just marked.

Grain direction is not to be confused with surface finishes. 2 the stainless steel sheet has a strong rebound tendency compared with carbon steel when bending. Minimum bend includes minimum closeness of cutout to bend radius cold rolled steel 14 gauge 0 075 1 91mm. Choose a bend radius that matches your minimum bend.

Grain direction is formed in metal in the direction in which the sheet was rolled at the steel mill. A cutout or the edge of your. This tool allows you to determine tonnage internal radius v die opening and minimum flange you just have to insert the characteristics of the sheet metal to be bent.
