Bending stainless steel sheet radius.

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. Grain direction is not to be confused with surface finishes.

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. Grain direction is formed in metal in the direction in which the sheet was rolled at the steel mill. 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. Measure and mark the bend location along one edge of the stainless steel sheet with the tape measure and awl.

The tool can calculate the required bending force for bending aluminum stainless steel mild steel and weldox or strenx high strength steels. 2 the stainless steel sheet has a strong rebound tendency compared with carbon steel when bending. Determine your minimum bend by measuring the distance from your closest feature i e. First we must start with the k factor.

It just won t really be at maximum strength. We want to know the final length of the detail. 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.

The bending angle is 90 sheet thickness 5 mm and the inside radius is 6 mm. 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. Place a second bend mark on the edge of the stainless steel sheet parallel to the edge you just marked.
