About the bending of various thicknesses of aluminum sheets

Recently, we often encounter customers asking questions about aluminum bending when they buy aluminum sheets, such as what is the coefficient when bending 3mm aluminum sheets ~ what knives should be used? What is the bending coefficient of a 5mm thick aluminum plate? Why will the aluminum plate crack when bending? In fact, the aluminum bending coefficient is a rule, generally 0.8 times the thickness of the aluminum plate, such as 3mm, aluminum bending coefficient is 2.4, 5mm aluminum bending coefficient is 4. With a knife, then generally with a sharp knife is better, with a straight sword knife pressure is too large, the aluminum plate is easily have cracks.

Aluminum plate bending 180 degrees is the reason for cracking

  1. The side of the bending and the aluminum rolling direction parallel, so it is easy to crack, the bending direction to 90 degrees.
  2. 180 degrees bending angle is too much, to be greater than the minimum bending radius, the general bending radius is 1.5 times the thickness of the plate
  3. The reason for the material, with some aluminum plates is an alloy, toughness is not pure aluminum plate is good, easy to crack.
  4. The aluminum plate thickness is too thick, bending 180 degrees beyond the bending limit of the material.
