Recommended Minimum Inside Bending Radii for 90 Degree Cold Forming of Sheet and Plate123
(bending transverse to rolling direction)
24
24
The radii listed are the minimum recommended for bending sheets and plates without fracturing in a standard press brake with air bend dies.
Other types of bending operations may require larger radii or permit smaller radii. The minimum permissible radii will also vary with the design and
condition of tooling.
Heat-treatable alloys can be formed over appreciably smaller radii immediately after solution heat treatment.
The H112 temper (applicable to non-heat-treatable alloys) is supplied in the as-fabricated condition without special property control, but usually can be
formed over radii applicable to the H14 (or H34) temper or smaller.

SURFACE FINISHING
S U R FAC E FINISHING : ANODISING
39
ANODISING
Anodising is an electro-chemical process whereby the natural aluminium
surface is converted to a hard, transparent and consistent oxide layer
which is an integral part of the aluminium.
Plain aluminium has the natural ability to produce a protective oxide film
on exposure to atmosphere. This natural oxide is hard and resistant to both
water and atmospheric conditions, but the protection it offers is inadequate
to curtail a corrosive attack, if certain other agents are present.
For this reason processes were sought whereby the natural oxide film
could be reinforced by anodising, to form a coating which is hard , more
corrosion and wear resistant; especially in aggressive coastal and industrial
environments.
Anodising enhances the natural metal finish of aluminium while having the
ability to add colour on aluminium as it provides a harder more durable
finish than most other coatings as it controls the natural oxidation of bare
aluminium.
Inex Metals offers an extensive range of popular colours, including
Satin (clear), Bronze, Black and Champagne with various
thicknesses from 10 micron to 25 micron.
SURFACE FINISHING : ANODISIN G
Frost Anodised is the latest look superior surface finishing for

aluminium ,,,, a glowing matt sheen that provides a uniform and nonreflective lustre.
Frost anodised is a unique two stage treatment that advances the
anodising process to provide aluminium extrusion with a constant
lustre finish free of grain. Added to this the pearlescent surface
finish also eliminates finger marking and is ideal for both interior and
exterior architectural decorative finishes.

SURFACE FINISHING
S U R FAC E FINISHING : POWDER COATING
41
POWDER COATING
Powder coating is an electrostatic process whereby electrically charged
particles in the form of powder are sprayed onto the surface of pre
treated aluminium. Once the paint is applied, the aluminium is then
baked in an oven cured and this achieves a highly durable, painted finish.
To obtain this quality an extensive pre-treatment process of eight
stages is completed under very stringent controls.
One of the major benefits of powder coating is that it provides
aluminium with a strong protective coating while offering an extensive
range of colours.

USEFUL FORMULAE & MASS CONVERSION FACTO R S
Useful formulae for the calculation of coiled sheet density and the calculation of mass per unit area or per unit length, are
given below. The formulae assume an alloy density of 2.71 x 103 kg/m3 (Mass Conversion Factor - 1.000). The calculated result
should be multiplied by the appropriate Mass Conversion Factor (see Table 2.6) when the formulae are applied to alloys of
other density.
