〉2016413ヂ This is referred to as the 20 percent rule. Note that 20 percent is only a title; the percentages actually change with the tensile strength of the material. 5052 H32 soft aluminum, the inside radius is between 11 and 13 percent of the die opening. Hot-rolled pickled and oiled, 14 to 16 percent. 6061 in condition, 18 to 20 percent.
〉#1 Aluminum Alloy 3003 This alloy is primarily alloyed with manganese and is one of the most commonly used aluminum alloys for bending applications. It has excellent formability properties and does not require heat to be bent or molded. Companies often make gutters, roofing, siding, chemical equipment, and storage tanks from 3003 aluminum.
〉Use a straightedge to connect the bend radius (0.25-inch) at the top of the graph with the material thickness at the bottom (.050-inch). Locate the 45 angle on the right hand scale and follow this line horizontally until it meets the straight edge. Follow the curved line to the left and find 0.035 at the left side.
