Stainless steel sheet metal parts processing an indispensable process is bending, the so-called bending is the use of pressure to force the material to produce deformation, forming a certain Angle and curvature shape of a stamping process. Commonly used bending including V - bending, Z - bending and bending pressure equality. Bending the most important is to pay attention to these points: bending height, bending radius, bending direction, and pay attention to the clearance of bending, this page is a past customer custom Z-shaped bending products, stainless steel bending has a certain difficulty, usually used for bending stainless steel 301 stainless steel and 304 stainless steel.
Steel type
Let's talk about many types of steel. As steel, carbon must be added to iron. However, the carbon content will be different, which will lead to great changes in its performance. Carbon steel usually refers to steel other than stainless steel, and is identified by the 4-digit grade of steel, more generally, low carbon steel, medium carbon steel or high carbon steel.
Mild steel: carbon content less than 0.30% by weight
Medium carbon steel: carbon content is 0.3 – 0.5%
High carbon steel: 0.6% and above
The main alloy elements of steel are represented by the first digit in the four digit grade. For example, any 1xxx steel, such as 1018, will use carbon as the main alloying element. 1018 steel contains 0.14 – 0.20% carbon and a small amount of phosphorus, sulfur and manganese. This universal alloy is commonly used to machine gaskets, shafts, gears, and pins.
