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.
In actual work, it is often encountered that various curves and flanges are bent with profiles. For example, most thin-walled pipes with a wall thickness δ<2mm are used for angle steel flanges. However, when bending flanges with angle steel, it… Read More »Calculation of the Minimum Bending Radius of Profiles
When we talk about bend radius it refers to the radius measured to the center line of the tube. Every CNC pipe/tubing bending machine will have a different set of draw bend radius tooling based on previous jobs that they… Read More »Two Rules for Bend Radius in Pipe or Tubing Bending
This article describes the key considerations for bending metal pipes: including wall thickness and bending radius; and material properties (yield strength, elongation, etc.) that affect the bending process of metal pipes will affect the bending process. Material selection for steel and aluminum tube bending. A metal pipe bend radius calculator is also provided.
Custom pipe bends are usually any type of profile pipe bend that does not meet standard short or long radius bends at 45, 90, and 180 degree standard bends.
