Note: This is part I of a Two-PART Series Looking at Metal Bending Basics in a Stamping Press. Read Part II Here.

  

  It may seem, bending can be very challening.

  -Degree bends are most commit.

  Items such as tabs and channels are created using the process. When bending is used to create u-shaped parts, it ’s class call u forming or channel forming.

  One of the biggest challenges in metal bending is springback. Also known as elastic recovery, it is the tendency for method original flats.

  To Bend The Metal Past the Desired Bend Angle and Alow It to Return to the Correct Angle. Tool-And Diemakers and Engineers Commly Refer to this Proces of.

  

  Volume of Material has ben deformed and worked-Hardened in the Radial Area. In Addition, Thicker Material is inherently Stiffer than Thinner Material, So it RetainSts Original Shider

  Too Small, However, It May Result in the Metal Splitting on the Outside Radius where it is in the greatest aminent of tension.
