What materials can be used for bending?

NSP PROTOTYPES Technology LIMITED TIME:2024/5/22
Bending forming usually uses ductile metal sheets, such as steel, aluminum, copper and titanium.

Bending forming is a common process in sheet metal processing. It mainly uses pressure to plastically deform the material to achieve the desired angle and shape. When choosing the right material, you need to consider the material's ductility, as ductile materials are easier to bend into the desired shape without breaking. The following are several commonly used bending forming materials:

Steel: Due to its high strength and relatively low cost, steel is one of the most commonly used bending materials. It is widely used in construction metal parts, consumer electronics and other fields.

Bending and forming
Aluminum: Aluminum is lightweight and has good corrosion resistance, making it suitable for applications that require lightweight or corrosion resistance, such as transportation and some packaging materials.

Copper: Copper has good electrical conductivity and ductility and is often used for connectors and conductive parts in electrical applications.

Titanium: Titanium is commonly used in aerospace and medical devices due to its high strength and corrosion resistance.

Bending and forming
In addition, the height and radius of the bend need to be considered when selecting materials. The height of the bend should be at least twice the thickness of the material plus the bend radius to ensure that no distortion occurs during bending. At the same time, the bending radius should be greater than the minimum bending radius of the material to ensure the bending strength.

In general, the advantages of bending molding are low raw material cost, fast molding speed, no need to open molds, and suitable for proofing and mass production. Moreover, the bending process can be used to increase the strength of the plate to solve the risk of deformation, or the bending method can be used to rapidly form the plate into a three-dimensional part. These are the advantages of thin plates at this level.
