Union jack aluminum sheet in graphite model 57571 19 98 19 98. The bend radii listed are standard minimum if manufacturing for aircraft and aerospace applications.

As the thickness increases so does the minimum radius. In 0 375 in thick aluminum the minimum radius is 1 5 times the thickness. The minimum bend radius data shown in these charts is measured to the inside of the bend. Grain direction bend line should go across the grain for the best bend having said that a typical sharp 90 bend on a piece of 1 8 aluminum sheet should be a minimum 1 8 inside radius use either 3003 or 5052 ideally the bend line should go across the grain.

This will give you a nice bend. The bend was upward so it stuck up when placed on the trailer frame. The bend radius you select may not be available if the geometry of the part will not allow us to bend with the specific tooling required to achieve that radius. Since commercial sheet metal bending can be done with less concern for stresses caused during forming operation the radius can be near zero for thin sheet metal.
