BENDING
Most commonly used metal forming process.
Here straight length is transformed into
curved length
Bend allowance – length of neutral axis in
bend area. Used to determine blank length
and bend part.
Bend allowance B= α (R + kt),
Where α = bend angle, radians
R = inside radius of bend, mm
t= thickness of sheet, mm
k = constant,
= 0.5 when R> 2t
= 0.33 when R<2t
Calculate the length of sheet required for making the component (as shown in Figure)
out of 3.5 mm C20 steel sheet
When R <2t, k=0.33
90
Bend allowance= 𝐵1 = ∗ 2 𝜋(6 + 0.33 ∗ 3.5)
360

When R >2t, k=0.5
90
Bend allowance= 𝐵2 = ∗ 2 𝜋(10 + 0.5 ∗ 3.5)

Total length L= 60- 2*(6+3.5)+B1+80- 2*(12+3.5)+B2+60
𝐵1 = 11.23 mm
𝐵2 = 18.44 mm
L= 179.6 mm
