    Minimum Bend Radius For Aluminium Alloys: Sheetmetal Gauges - Equivalent For Imperial and Metric Sheets

    Uploaded by

    AscenderBSP
    The document provides minimum bend radius recommendations for various aluminum alloys and sheet thicknesses. It also includes tables converting between imperial and metric sheet thicknesses and gauges, as well as standard thickness for steel, galvanized steel, and aluminum sheets in American gauge. The minimum bend radii increase as the sheet thickness and alloy strength increase. Clad sheets and some tempers can be bent to smaller radii immediately after processing.

    1. Clad sheet may be bent over slightly smaller radii than the
    corresponding tempers of uncoated alloy.
    2. Immediately after quenching this alloy may be formed over
    appreciably smaller radii
