What is metal bending? Bending is one of the most common metal fabrication operations. Also known as press braking(plate bending), or plate rolling, it is a process by which metal can be deformed when applying force to the subject at room temperature(cold bending), which causes it to bend at an angle and form the anticipated… Read More »Metal Bending: Basics, Cold vs Hot, 6 Types, and Tips
Plate bending can be split into two main categories, plate rolling and press braking(plate bending). Bending Plate and Rolling Plate Bending steel plates is defined as deforming steel around a straight axis. We use force to manipulate steel until it reaches a desired angle or shape. The difference between bending versus rolling depends on the… Read More »Three Factors for Bending or Rolling Steel Plate
What is Plate Rolling? Plate rolling is a fabricating process that is used to form various types of sheet metal, mainly stainless, aluminum, and steel into circular, conical, round, or any other shapes.Plate rolling machines (aka “plate rollers” or “roll bending machines”) give materials their shape by using force through their rollers that are powered… Read More »‘Pre-Bending’ and Why Is It So Important
It would be fair to say that plate rolling is an art in comparison to many other processes in the fabrication world. Being a skilled and seasoned plate rolling machine operator is as important as having the proper machinery and equipment in order to achieve the desired job results. What is Plate Rolling? In a… Read More »Roll Out Flats When Roll Bending on a 4-Roll Bending Rolls
Cylinders, arcs, and cones in a variety of sizes, thicknesses, and materials are some of the most commonly rolled components. Edge Cracks During a cold roll bending a metal cone with a cone rolling machine, the metal might show some cracks on the edges. This phenomenon occurs from secondary tensile stresses induced at the workpiece… Read More »How to roll bending a cone without cracks
What are metal cones used for? Cones are used in many industries as transitions, pipe reducers/increasers, funnels, hoppers, and chutes. In architecture, cones are generally used for aesthetic purposes, whereas they tend to have a more functional use in construction. This can include the offshore wind industry as well as fossil fuel and gas industries.… Read More »4 basic key explanations for producing metal cones
The wind tower has developed rapidly in recent years, and we have found its tall figure in many places. Well, behind the fact that they provide us with clean energy, we should ask the question, why does it need to be so high?This is a question about the actual design of the wind towers themselves.… Read More »Rolling wind tower cone by cone rolling machine
Principle of Roll Cone The cylinder and the cone can be regarded as the cylinder and the cone of the workpiece are rotated 360 degrees around the rotation centerline in the same plane. The bar of the cylindrical workpiece is parallel to the rotation center line, and the busbar and the rotation center of the… Read More »How To Roll A Cone With Plate Rolling Machine
Why is the plate rolling process deformed? Steel plate bending machines (whether there are two or three bottom rollers) have a top roller. The size of the top roller can be adjusted to roll the board into a cylinder or cylinder segment so that its radius is close to the diameter of the top roller. However, the… Read More »How to reduce the deformation of the plate rolling process?
How does the plate bending machine bend the plate? It is not easy to bend a thick steel plate to a narrow radius. There are many variables to consider, such as thickness, surface and edge conditions, and the chemical composition of the material. Plate bending is a process in which a force is applied to the plate,… Read More »Bending Basics: Bending Thick Steel Plate
