Bending 1 4 Steel Plate

If the steel has a tensile reduction value of 10 percent divide 50 by that value.

Bending 1 4 steel plate.

Lay out the sheet you want to bend and mark it with a sharpie. For the sides i would like to take a piece of 1 4 plate steel that is 10 long bend 3 90 degree corners and then weld the 4th where the ends of the plate come together. Now multiply that answer by the plate thickness. Last time i bought plate i bought a sheet they cut it in 3 pieces made 2 bends in each of the 2 pieces and loaded it in my truck.

Go to the local steel shop and have them make the bend. If the material is 0 5 in. Build this brake from scrap steel. If you want more of a radius put two cuts about 1 4 apart then bend and weld.

At jorgenson metal rolling and forming bending plate as well as rolling plate is just one of our many capabilities we can also do sheet metal bending tube bending and pipe bending. So in this case the minimum inside bend radius is 2 times the material thickness. This compartment will all be encapsulated by water which is 1 of the reasons i only wanted to have 1 welded side seam other than top and bottom. This is 1 4 thick plate bent to various degrees.

This plate was also sheared to size in our custom metal fabrication department which is located in our facility. Bend by hand and weld the joint skip weld is fine. 4 0 5 2. Hope you like you.

Then on the back side cut about half way through with a cut off wheel.
