Optimizing Bendability with 6063-T6 Aluminum Alloy

T52 temper may introduce challenges with smaller radii. Heating and bending are potential solutions. Alternatively, contemplating lower tempers like T1 or the extremely soft 6063-O (fully annealed) becomes a viable strategy.

T52, being artificially aged from the T1 state, involves a trade-off between hardness reduction and strength.

How to bending aluminum without cracking it?

Aluminum breaking after bending can be a significant issue in various applications: The aluminum sheet or aluminum extrusion is easy to break after bending, or it will crack after anodizing bending. Many aluminum alloy processing companies are confused about this. Understanding the main reasons for this problem and implementing preventive measures is essential for achieving successful aluminum bending without failures. So, how to bend aluminum without breaking it? 9 main reasons and 6 tips for preventive measures for aluminum to break after bending.
