| Plate Thickness | Material | Inner Bend Radius | K-Factor |
|---|---|---|---|
| .03 - .125 in | Steel, Stainless, Aluminum | .0775 in | 0.4 |
| .134 - .250 in | Steel, Stainless, Aluminum | .155 in | 0.4 |
| .3125 - .500 in | Steel, Stainless, Aluminum | .250 in | 0.4 |
The table above provides simplified average values across materials and thicknesses, as small variations due to material heat lot changes would make precise charting inaccurate. Using these values will get your model close to the expected results, and we can further refine it in our software for precise adjustments. To ensure accuracy, avoid placing features too close to bends to prevent distortion, and make sure there is enough material to keep it from slipping off the bottom die during bending.
