Mimimum Bend Radius as function of wire dia., temper, alloy
Mimimum Bend Radius as function of wire dia., temper, alloy
(OP)
I am looking for information regarding the minimum bending radius of stainless steel wire. For a given wire diameter, temper and alloy, bending the wire to a radius smaller than a certain threshold will significantly compromise the tensile strength of the wire. Anybody know 'rules of thumb' or can point me to some data? Appreciate any information at all.
Specific example: minimum bend radius for
0.008" diameter, full hard temper, 304 stainless.
