125 through 24 scaleless tempered.
Bending spring steel sheet.
Blue tempered and polished spring steel.
Here s how it s done.
So then you can deform it reheat it and cool it down fast dump it red hot in water or oil which will harden it again.
Spring steels are known for their high yield strength which allows objects made of spring steel to return to their original shape after bending and forming.
To a press brake operator a bending angle is different from a bent angle and it all has to do with that ever present forming variable.
Part of the fundamental manufacturing processes video series this program examines two of the oldest manufacturing processes.
Tempered spring steel is commonly referred to as high carbon steel and is useful for a number of applications including use in springs and steel tapes.
Also known as press braking flanging die bending folding and edging this method is used to deform a material to an angular shape.
Our offerings also include.
The final bend radius and bend angle can be approximated from the sheet thickness k factor material yield strength and modulus of elasticity and the initial bend angle and bend radius.
After a bending operation residual stresses will cause the sheet metal to spring back slightly.
If you have any questions or want to discuss your design contact us.
If you want to bend it you have to have to heat it to red glowing when it will loose its hardness.
The force must exceed the material s yield strength to achieve a plastic deformation.
This is done through the application of force on a workpiece.
002 through 125 widths in stock.
Determine your minimum bend by measuring the distance from your closest feature i e.
A cutout or the edge of your flange to your bend.
Springback is ever present in sheet metal forming.
Bending is one of the most common sheet metal fabrication operations.
Cooling down slowly it will not re hard and you can treat it as any other common steel.
Choose a bend radius that matches your minimum bend.
The greater the yield strength of the material the greater the spring back and the smaller the angle of the punch die should be designed for the angle of 90 degrees of the bending part.
Compared to carbon steel for the same thickness of stainless steel the bending angle is larger special attention should be paid to this point otherwise the bending crack will appear affecting the strength of the workpiece.
