Bending Stainless Steel Sheet Radius

Grain direction is not to be confused with surface finishes.

Bending stainless steel sheet radius.

It just won t really be at maximum strength. Measure and mark the bend location along one edge of the stainless steel sheet with the tape measure and awl. 2 the stainless steel sheet has a strong rebound tendency compared with carbon steel when bending. We want to know the final length of the detail.

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. If you re bending 0 020 thick material use a 0 020 radius. Bending can be done with less concern for stresses caused during forming operation the radius can be near zero for thin sheet metal.

The bending angle is 90 sheet thickness 5 mm and the inside radius is 6 mm. Determine your minimum bend by measuring the distance from your closest feature i e. Minimum bend includes minimum closeness of cutout to bend radius cold rolled steel 14 gauge 0 075 1 91mm. In other words if you re bending 1 8 sheet use a tool with a 1 8 radius to form the inside of the bend.

Choose a bend radius that matches your minimum bend. Another way to determine the k factor is by following the rule of thumb. A cutout or the edge of your. Discover all our calculation tools in the calculators section of the top menu.

Grain direction is formed in metal in the direction in which the sheet was rolled at the steel mill. First we must start with the k factor. 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.
