Minimum Bend Radius for 2024-T3 Alumuminum
That was one of the sites I was referring to. Note it says "The bend radii listed are standard minimum if manufacturing for aircraft and aerospace applications." I don't have to conform to aircraft or aerospace regulations for this application.- MichaelHill

Minimum Bend Radius for 2024-T3 Alumuminum
I'm trying to figure out if how our shop's been bending 0.050" 2024-T3 is truly the way we should be doing it. We bend it with a 0.125" radius, but checking out a lot of other sources say we should be bending it with a 0.160-0.170 radius, but I'm not sure if those are specific for aerospace...- MichaelHill
