The bending process is a very important and vital step in the metal industry, for this, the physical characteristics of the products that need to be bent must be taken into account in order to achieve the best and highest quality results. In this article, we will examine bending and some of the knowledge it requires. Stay with us
Bending in simple language
Simply put, bending is the process of changing the shape of metal parts, including metal sheets and pipes, by applying force controlled by special devices through various processes
Elasticity versus plastic bending
Bending or deformation is one of the ultimate goals of metal fabricators because it means that permanent changes can be made possible, but with every applied force this is not achieved and results in elastic bending which is only It is temporary and the bent material may return to its original shape afterwards. The bending process is generally determined by the type and strength of the material. To achieve plastic bending, the applied force must exceed the yield strength of the material
