If the material is 0 5 in.
Bending 1 4 steel plate.
Then on the back side cut about half way through with a cut off wheel.
5 1 4.
At jorgenson metal rolling and forming bending plate as well as rolling plate is just one of our many capabilities we can also do sheet metal bending tube bending and pipe bending.
Hope you like you.
Go to the local steel shop and have them make the bend.
So in this case the minimum inside bend radius is 2 times the material thickness.
This compartment will all be encapsulated by water which is 1 of the reasons i only wanted to have 1 welded side seam other than top and bottom.
If you want more of a radius put two cuts about 1 4 apart then bend and weld.
This is 1 4 thick plate bent to various degrees.
Formed stainless steel plate bent.
Now multiply that answer by the plate thickness.
For the sides i would like to take a piece of 1 4 plate steel that is 10 long bend 3 90 degree corners and then weld the 4th where the ends of the plate come together.
If the steel has a tensile reduction value of 10 percent divide 50 by that value.
Bend by hand and weld the joint skip weld is fine.
Build this brake from scrap steel.
Next subtract 1 from that answer.
This plate was also sheared to size in our custom metal fabrication department which is located in our facility.
