Does anyone have any data on spring back rates for 316 SS? I am trying to bend plates (approx 8" x 5" x 0.25") and in order to size the die correctly, I would like to factor in the spring back rate.
 
You need to know the bend radius, and condition of the material. Using the information in ASM Handbook, Vol 14,

Bend radii, degree springback in a 90 degree bend

304 ss
1t 2 degrees
6t 4 degrees
20t 15 degrees


Also, springback is approximately proportional to the equation below;

(0.2YS + UTS)/2.
