When
〉2019819ヂ A metal grain direction is usually only a factor when bending, however. This is because sharper, or tighter, bends can be made across the grain without cracking. In addition, the grain direction needs
〉201974ヂ When folding, steel is strongest when bent against the grain. Bending sheet metal with the grain (longitudinally) increases the possibility of the grains separating at the grain boundaries. This limits
〉2021325ヂ With many metals, bending with the grain (longitudinally) can increase the likelihood of cracking, tearing, or orange peeling, and it may therefore be preferable to
〉2010929ヂ Generally the default value for a bend radius is the metal thickness. A bigger radius is better than a smaller radius. You can always specify to bend with the

〉2021914ヂ As a rule, 6061-T6 aluminum sheet will only bend to an external angle of 84 degrees before cracking or breaking. This bend angle leaves you with a 6-degree deficit to achieve a 90-degree bend. To correct for this, start with the bend deduction between the inside and outside mold lines on the part layout. Divide that value by 4.
〉201831ヂ As observed in Fig. 4, going from the LCF region to the HCF ( Nf > 10 6) region, the curves become closer to each other. Even in the S-N curves of aluminum sheets having a reliability level of R = 0.99 (99%), the effect of rolling direction on fatigue strength is observed to be only slightly less [10]. 3.3.
〉To do this, you will need physical strength and metal scissors. Make marks in the required meta. After that, take scissors and make slight cuts along with the marks. These marks will be used to bend the metal sheet. If it
〉2022127ヂ Bend angles standard tolerance of 1. Bend length tolerance are typically 0.25 mm (0.010) It important to take these types of factors into consideration when designing your sheet metal components consulting with an experienced sheet metal fabricator can help ensure your part is ready for production. Section 6.
〉202359ヂ The strength of the sheet metal bend needs to be ensured during the bending process, and it is generally weaker for long and narrow bends, while short and wide bends are stronger. As a result, the sheet
〉2016822ヂ Grain direction- bend line should go across the grain for the best bend Having said that a typical sharp 90* bend on a piece of 1/8 aluminum sheet should be a minimum 1/8 inside radius, use either 3003 or 5052 ideally the bend line should go across the grain. This will give you a nice bend.
〉2011223ヂ +1 on the T6061. And youre right, the radius as well as the rate of the bend is crucial. Cant to bend too small or too fast or the metal will fail. Best solution for a near-zero bend is not a bend at all. Weld it; tig. And for whoever said grain is lost in the sauce. But he/she is correct; metals do have a grain.
〉2002512ヂ Options to consider would be: 1) Use the 5052 alloy in the annealed condition. This will produce a more uniform, isotropic grain structure, that will be less susceptible to intergranular cracking during with the grain bending. 2) If you need a higher strength level than that produced by annealing, consider using a less strain hardened
