5mm Sheet Metal Bending Process

The 5mm sheet metal bending process is a robust metalworking technique designed to shape medium-gauge metal sheets into precise, angular forms, balancing strength with dimensional accuracy for applications requiring structural integrity.    At the core of this process is the use of heavy-duty CNC press brakes equipped with high-torque drives and reinforced tooling. The V-dies and punches are selected based on the material’s tensile strength: for 5mm mild steel, a die with a wider V-opening (typically 8-10 times the material thickness) distributes force evenly, preventing indentation or tearing, while harder metals like stainless steel may require heat-treated tooling to withstand higher bending pressures.​ The process accommodates a range of bend types, from simple 90° angles for brackets and frames to complex multi-axis bends for enclosures or structural components. Post-bending inspection ensures the bend radius, flange length, and overall flatness meet tolerances, with options like…
