Bending Stainless Steel Sheet Radius

We want to know the final length of the detail.

Bending stainless steel sheet radius.

To use the tables below. 2 the stainless steel sheet has a strong rebound tendency compared with carbon steel when bending. 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. For most applications with stainless steel or aluminum you can get away with a zero radius bend on anything under 0 050 thick.

Place a second bend mark on the edge of the stainless steel sheet parallel to the edge you just marked. Determine your minimum bend by measuring the distance from your closest feature i e. Bending can be done with less concern for stresses caused during forming operation the radius can be near zero for thin sheet metal. Grain direction is formed in metal in the direction in which the sheet was rolled at the steel mill.

Grain direction is not to be confused with surface finishes. A cutout or the edge of your. It just won t really be at maximum strength. First we must start with the k factor.

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. If you re bending 0 020 thick material use a 0 020 radius. Minimum bend includes minimum closeness of cutout to bend radius cold rolled steel 14 gauge 0 075 1 91mm.

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. Discover all our calculation tools in the calculators section of the top menu. Measure and mark the bend location along one edge of the stainless steel sheet with the tape measure and awl.
