Minimum bend radius of Stainless Steel
Minimum bend radius of Stainless Steel
(OP)
I am looking for the minimum bend radius of Stainless 305. Sheet thickness is .008". I want to do ~200 degree bend.
Does anyone have a formula? I was looking in the Machinery Handbook but couldn't find it.
Thanks in advance.

RE: Minimum bend radius of Stainless Steel
Sheet metal bend allowance:
(.0078T + .0174R) X No of degrees
RE: Minimum bend radius of Stainless Steel
What do you mean by "~200 degree bend" ? I would think 180 deg would form a hem which would be the most you could bend. Here is a link but not for Stainless but might help.
