What is bending solid material
Bars are most commonly used for smaller manufactured parts and for industrial applications.
Square bars can only be bent as one style (i.e. there is no strong axis or weak axis to bend against).
BIT profile bending machine (section bending machine/hydraulic bar bending machine) can ability to bend all mill produces sizes of square and round bars, including aluminum, stainless, and carbon steel.
5 important factors affecting the square bar bending process
Several tips can help to ease the bending of square or rectangular material and reduce the amount of distortion in bent sections.
- Method of Bending: This is a key factor in controlling distortion. A correctly chosen procedure can help to produce consistent tolerances and accurate parts. Generally, smaller material requires rotary draw bending or compression bending, which can incorporate wiper dies and mandrels. Induction and increment bending should be used with larger material bent to a larger radius. Design distortion and material size are important factors for determining the bending method.
- In many cases: There is no better factor than experience. Many trained bending artisans know what is required to produce an acceptable product.
- Size of Material: Larger material bent to a smaller radius has a greater chance to distort than smaller material bent to a larger radius. Design and planning are necessary to help solve bending problems before they arise.
- Tooling: After the parts have been designed, the method of bending has been chosen, and procedures to bend to proper tolerances are established, the machine must be set up with the proper tooling. Based on design conditions, tooling that can be used includes bend die, clamp block, follower block, mandrel, and wiper die. All or some of this tooling may be required.
- Internal and External Lubricant: Lubricants decrease the friction between tooling and material to be bent. When friction is reduced, material flows smoothly through the bending equipment, allowing the machinery to perform its designed operation efficiently.
Application
Bent square bar for trummle screen rings, architectural features, artistic works among others. Often square bar is machined after bending as an affordable alternative to cutting shapes from plate.

Bars are formed by either a cold-drawn process or a hot-drawn process. The different processes result in different material properties which are defined by local mills that are producing bars. Hot rolled bars are typically designated as A36 with a yield point (PSI) of 36,000 minimum. Cold rolled bars are typically designated as 1018 with a yield point (PSI) of 54,000 minimum.
