Bending and Stamping of Aluminum Profiles: A Practical Guide
Aluminum profiles can be formed into complex shapes through specialized processing. Bending is suitable for high-ductility alloys like 6063 and 5052, using roll bending or press braking to create curved frames and structures. Stamping can efficiently produce complex cutouts and flanges, ideal for high-volume standardized components.
Key considerations include managing material spring-back through die compensation design. Thin-walled profiles (≤1mm) require internal support during bending to prevent deformation. Material temper significantly affects formability, with annealed (O temper) condition being optimal for deep forming.
Properly designed aluminum profiles can achieve bend radii ≥3x wall thickness, while stamping is recommended for materials ≤6mm thick. Our technical team provides processing guidance to help achieve optimal design outcomes.
