Minimum Radius Bending

At times, your project is going to need bending services that can accommodate structural steel that is curved in an extremely tight radius.  Minimum radius bending can be performed with many different forms of metal, including structural steel, plate, bar, pipe, or tube and can be used on any variety of metal alloys.  Naturally, the products will have to meet extremely specific requirements for your project, and each project can have its own set of special difficulties.  

Distortion of a rolled product can occur during the bending process, leaving customers with products that can’t be used because it doesn’t meet project specifications.  Because of the tight radius, metal can experience added stress in the bends. Cracks can then form on the outside of the bend, making the part easier to break.  Additionally, the size of the piece being bent can cause problems for inexperienced benders.  Pieces that are particularly large or small can be difficult to bend correctly, and the variety of available metal alloys also adds to the complexity of bending to a tight radius.
