Metal bending is a crucial manufacturing process that involves shaping metal sheets and profiles to achieve desired forms. It plays a vital role in various industries due to its versatility and precision. Metal bending is achieved through methods such as folding, rolling, and stretching, where the material is carefully manipulated to create angles, curves, or bends. This process is essential for fabricating components used in automotive, construction, aerospace, and other sectors. Its importance lies in the ability to produce complex and customized metal parts, making it a fundamental technique in modern manufacturing.

Various Metal Bending Material
You can choose from various sheet metals including aluminum, stainless steel, and low-carbon steel. Each material is selected for its unique properties, and Sundi will recommend the best bending material for your project.
Copper is a soft, ductile metal with excellent ductility and antibacterial properties, retaining its electrical conductivity even after bending.
Mild steel, commonly used for metal bending without heating, is easily shaped into various forms and remains durable against cracking, making it ideal for challenging EDM tasks.
Stainless steel is favored in the food and medical industries due to its excellent corrosion resistance. Different grades offer varied performance, and its tendency to work-harden requires high-power metal bending machines for processing.
Aluminum is lightweight and highly malleable, It can be bent into complex shapes and is corrosion-resistant.
Bronze is another copper alloy known for its durability and resistance to corrosion.
Titanium is a lightweight yet strong metal that is commonly used in aerospace and medical applications.
Galvanized steel is coated with a layer of zinc for corrosion resistance, it is suitable for outdoor and structural applications.
Certain nickel alloys, such as Inconel and Monel, are used in high-temperature and corrosive environments.

Metal Bending FAQ
Yes, we provide a range of additional services including welding, assembly, and finishing to deliver comprehensive solutions for your metal fabrication needs.
The tolerance of bending parts can vary widely depending on the material, thickness, and specific bending process used. Typically, standard tolerances range from ±0.1 mm to ±0.5 mm. For precision bending operations, especially in industries like aerospace or automotive, tighter tolerances down to ±0.01 mm may be required and achieved with advanced machinery and careful process control.
Yes, the maximum thickness for bending sheet metal depends on the material type and the bending machine's capabilities. Standard press brakes can generally bend materials like aluminum and mild steel up to about 0.5 inches (12.7 mm) thick. However, for tougher materials such as stainless steel, which have higher tensile strengths, the maximum thickness typically reduces to around 0.375 inches (9.5 mm) because more force is required to perform the bend.
In common sheet metal bending, stainless steel is harder to deform compared to other commonly used materials like aluminum or low-carbon steel. This is due to its composition, which includes significant amounts of iron, chromium, and nickel, giving stainless steel high tensile strength, hardness, and durability.
