Bending Thin Spring Steel

Easy to form 1075 spring steel sheets.

Bending thin spring steel.

Per the chart if you re bending 1 mm cold rolled steel to an inside radius of 20 mm you would have to account for 9 degrees of springback. Spring steel is hardened carbon steel not so special. Zhent spring tube bender is a perfect tool for bending thin wall tube to the precise angle up to 180 degrees without crimping or collapsing the pipe 6 different sizes fit most common pipes used in daily life premium spring steel and heat hardened technology make our spring solid and durable technical specification brandname zhent sku zt 003. Here s how it s done.

1075 spring steel strips. When air forming you can define the degrees of springback d using the inside bend radius ir and material thickness mt along with a material factor. If you want to bend it you have to have to heat it to red glowin. Quite normal for spring steel isn t it.

And it will spring back. All come with a traceable lot number and test report. Bending sheet metal by hand is a manageable task if the piece of sheet metal is small and thin enough to handle. You can bend it.

But due to the hardening it remain its form. These sheets have a softened temper which is also known as annealed so they can be easily formed into shape and then heat treated for spring properties. Shaping a spring to it s desired shape. Also known as scaleless blue steel.
