Technical Data

Recommended Inside Bending Radii - Sheet and Plate - Alloys 5083 - 6061

Inside bending radii 3004-5154 aluminium alloys

Footnotes:

Bending transverse to rolling direction.

t=thickness in mm

1 Radii listed are minimum recommended for bending sheets and plates without fracturing in a standard press brake with air-bend dies. Other types of bending operations may require larger radii or permit smaller radii. The minimum permissable radii will also vary with the design and condition of tooling.

2 Heat-treatable alloys can be formed over appreciably smaller radii immediately after solution heat treatment.

3 The H112 temper (applicable to non-heat-treatable alloys) is supplied in the as-fabricated condition without special property control, but usually can be formed over radii applicable to the H14 (or H34) temper or smaller.

4 Applicable to 5005 H1X and H3X tempers.
