20 questions about bending

1. What is bending?

Bending steel is the process of permanently transforming a flat steel member into a curve or angle. In steel processing, bending creates a permanent deformation of the material.

2. What is the difference between roll forming, roll bending and press braking?

Three differently designed machines are used to obtain the required shape of an originally flat plate. Roll forming results in an open or closed section. Roll bending gives a circular section, truncated cone section or a shape with variable radius. Press braking creates a linear deformation.
