Bending stretches one side of a profile and compresses the other. Here is how we keep click connections, screw channels and cooling fins intact, even in the bend.
Alloy, profile shape and wall thickness set the limit. Here is how to find yours.
Both bend steel, but they suit different radii and sections. How to choose.
From flat plate to a welded cylinder, cone or can, and what sets the limits.
Roll, stretch, mandrel or induction bending: what each does best.
Which beams can be bent, to which radius, and what to put on your drawing.
Bending changes the strength of some alloys. When heat treatment restores it.
