Refractory Metal Bend Tables
Refractory Metal Bend Tables
(OP)
DOes anyone know of any literature that has been published on bend tables for sheet fabrication of refractory metals, most interested in Molybdenum, Tungsten, Tantalum? I have searched the web far and wide and have not really come up with anything. I am performing my own tests to develop a correlation that we can use with good accuracy, but it is a very lengthy and tedious task.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks!

They are not however established for refractory metals. I just didn't know if there was PUBLISHED data regarding this matter. I have searched but with no luck. I work for a major metal producer and fabricator and no one here has had any luck either. Just rule of thumb standards.
Thanks for all the response! Keep it coming!

Re-reading your second post, it's not clear to me: is the tungsten red hot as its being bent? If not, you are actually cracking the tungsten to achieve permanent deformation.
