Cold Bending

According to the characteristics of processing technology, cold bending is divided into press bending, roll bending and stretch bending.

2019 Everyone should know about bending steel

Bent steel components don’t just “walk out” of the rolling mill. Bent steel members are made of straight materials and are bent by your bending company to your requirements.

The bending process does not affect the strength or structural integrity of the steel. When the shape is successfully bent without any buckling or local cracks in the steel, under actual conditions of use, the component will withstand much less stress than that associated with the bending operation. Once the bending is completed, the member can be expected to perform as needed.

Advantages of cold bending metal profiles

When you need to bend various types of metal profiles, cold bending has many advantages over hot bending.

Whether you are dealing with any other shape of beams, tubes, channel or angle, sometimes 3D, 4D or even 5D bending is required so that they can reach the desired angle.

4 key for cold bending process of metal profiles

There are many processes to bend metal profiles, and cold bending is one of the commonly used methods;

profile bending machines and plate bending machines are machines that use the principle of three points to make a circle and use cold bending to bend metal profiles.

angle flange forming

Attention point of cold bending of angle flanges

Cold bending is done on machines commonly called profile bending machine (also called angle roller or section benders) .

These machines might have three or four rolls that induce the curvature of the steel sections as they pass through the tooling.
