What is metal bending?
Metal bending is a process of deforming metal by applying a force to the object. The bending is done at an angle and gives it the intended shape, which is often a “V” or “U” shape.
There are several methods using one or more machines depending on the part to create and the shape to be obtained. Those most commonly used in sheet metal bending are the “press brake” and the “hydraulic press”. The difference between these 2 tools is that the hydraulic press works in two dimensions while the press brake only works in one.
How does Sheet Metal Bending work?
Sheet Metal bending is a standard metal forming process that involves manipulating metal sheets using various tools and machines. During the bending process, the sheet metal is often clamped between a punch and die and then pressed to create a bend at a specific angle. The amount of force needed to achieve the desired turn is determined by several factors, including the type of metal being used, the thickness of the sheet, and the bend angle.
Metal bending can be performed using various methods, including air bending, bottom bending, coining, roller bending, and v bending. Each technique offers unique advantages and is selected based on the project’s specifics. After bending, the sheet metal is often trimmed, and excess material is removed using various machining processes. Overall, bending sheet metal is a crucial process that creates durable, high-quality metal products for multiple industries and applications.
Materials
RCT MFG is a highly specialized company. We are experts in working with various materials, including aluminum, copper, stainless steel, and titanium. Aluminum, for instance, is known for its lightness and corrosion-resistant properties, making it a popular material in many applications. On the other hand, copper is highly conductive and heat-resistant, making it an excellent choice for electrical and industrial applications. Stainless steel is another popular material used for its durability and corrosion-resistant properties while providing a modern appearance. Lastly, titanium is a strong yet lightweight valuable material in extreme environments such as aerospace and medical applications. With its expertise in sheet metal bending and its knowledge of these materials, RCT MFG is well-equipped to handle any project and is heat-resistant, which makes it an excellent choice for electrical and industrial applications.

Finishes
Choosing the right finish for sheet metal fabrication projects is crucial for looks and protection. Options include powder coating, painting, anodizing, and plating. Each has benefits and drawbacks, so select depending on the application, metal type, budget, and environment. Partnering with an experienced sheet metal fabrication company will guide the right choice of finish, enhancing appearance and increasing durability.
