Bending Cold Roll Sheet Steel

The former is a process used with sheet metal.

Bending cold roll sheet steel. Stock bars and sheets of cold rolled steel crs are commonly used in all areas of manufacturing. We go beyond the general rules of sheet metal bending as our customers want tight bend radii for sheet metal parts. In general cold rolled steel sheet can hold tighter tolerances than hot rolled when machined or otherwise fabricated and provides a better overall surface finish. It is possible to choose other bends if you require but additional lead time and tooling charges may apply.

Category thickness minimum bend bend radius. Cold formed steel cfs is the common term for steel products shaped by cold working processes carried out near room temperature such as rolling pressing stamping bending etc. A minimum bend radius for one material thickness is not the same for another material thickness. 22 gauge 0 030 0 76 mm 0 5 12 7mm.

The terms are opposed to hot formed steel and hot rolled steel. Weldability cold rolled steels can be joined using accepted welding practices. Hot rolled material on the other hand doesn t have grains like cold rolled steel so its strength when bent does not vary with the grain direction. The steel is processed further in cold reduction mills where the material is cooled at room temperature followed by annealing and or tempers rolling.

003 through 250 widths in stock. Cold rolled steel sheet is essentially hot rolled steel that has been further processed to increase its strength and strength to weight ratio. Cold rolled steel is essentially hot rolled steel that has had further processing. Cold rolled high carbon annealed spring steel.

Bend stronger by bending against during forming cold rolled steel is strongest when a bend is made against the grain weaker when bent with the grain. Paintability cold rolled steels due to stringent surface roughness controls are readily paintable using an appropriate paint system. In cold rolled mild steel the minimum bend radius is 63 percent of the material thickness. Cold rolled steel cold working is a metal forming method that has many advantages over hot working.

125 through 60 spring steel value add services. This process will produce steel with closer dimensional tolerances and a wider range of surface finishes. Technically cold working includes cold rolling and cold drawing. Cold rolled steels can be used to produce parts with forming ranging from simple bends to extreme deep drawing requirements.
