Bent Sheet Metal Strength

This is done through the application of force on a workpiece.

Bent sheet metal strength.

The force must exceed the material s yield strength to achieve a plastic deformation. Also known as press braking flanging die bending folding and edging this method is used to deform a material to an angular shape. Rolling sheet metal edges with wire strengthens the panel in two ways that ordinary sheet metal bending doesn t. Bending is one of the most common sheet metal fabrication operations.

It is one of the indexes of metal strength. One is that by metal being folded over itself it has doubled in thickness. The total strength of bending of a sheet is directly proportional to the length of bending. The second is it benefits from the structural integrity that the wire hidden inside gives.

Edge bending is utilized in almost every sheet metal product design to give strength at the edges as well keep the design safe to be used by the end customers. Bending strength it is the maximum stress that the cross section is subjected to when the load is applied between the two points of the specimen. This can be best explained with an example. The strength of the table is the force required to bend sheet metal up to 1 m in length.
