Matters Affecting Sheet Metal Bending Radius

Metal bending is a process in which metal can change shape when applying a force to a subject, causing it to bend at an angle and form the anticipated shape, which often results in a V or U shape. Then, what are the things that can affect the bending radius of sheet metal? There are several factors that can influence sheet metal bending radius, namely:

1. Angle Bending
   Sheet metal bending angle is a key factor affecting bending looseness. For example, if you bend sheet metal with a large radius, the allowance for bending will be reduced. If bending an acute angle, the less bending allowance must be reduced.

2. Sheet Metal Thickness
   In actual work, it was found that the thicker the material, the greater the radius of its bending. The thicker the plate, the greater the bending force and the larger the vein opening in the lower mold.

3. Sheet Metal Material
   The bending allowances of different plates with the same thickness are different, with a slight difference, which proves that the material properties affect the bending radius. The material has properties that are resistant to bending and can directly affect the radius of bending.

4. Bending Strength
   The thicker the sheet metal, the greater the ability of the material to withstand bending deformations. Then you need to adjust the bending force. The bending force cannot be increased indefinitely and needs to be adjusted to the correct level. The bending force is proportional to the thickness of the sheet metal and inversely proportional to the width of the bottom mold notch. In actual bending, the thickness of the sheet metal is set, and the width of the bottom die slot is selected according to the thickness of the metal sheet. Therefore, the bending force is a constant which is determined by other factors and the bending radius of the bending radius can be neglected without considering the bending force.

Conclusion

The bending force is involved in the change in the bending radius, but is determined by the thickness of the sheet metal and the width of the bottom mold notch. Almost all factors affect the bending radius, We Duta Laserindo Metal can limit the factors that affect the bending radius according to your request and get quality products done by the best experts in their fields.
