Precautions for Bending Stainless Steel Flat Bar

Some specifications of stainless steel flat bar can be bent, but it is easy to break and deform during the bending process. What should be paid attention to during the bending process? The following are some points for attention in the bending process of stainless steel flat bar:

Some stainless steel flat bars can be bend, but there is a risk of fracture and deformation during the bending process. What should be taken into consideration during the bending process? Here are a few points to note when bending stainless steel flat bars:

1. Under the same unit size, the greater the tensile strength, the smaller the elongation, the greater the required bending force, and the larger the bending angle should be.

2. The higher the yield strength of the material, the greater the elastic recovery. In order to achieve a 90-degree angle for the bent part, the angle the press blade needs to be designed smaller.

3. Under the unit size, the thicker the plate, the greater the required bending force. Moreover, as the plate thickness increases, there should be a larger margin of bending force when selecting the bending equipment. Stainless steel has poorer thermal conductivity and lower elongation than ordinary low carbon steel, which results in a greater required deformation force. 

In a word, it is necessary to fully understand the above points and apply them in the operation process, striving to produce high-quality 304 stainless steel flat bars every time.
