Fabrication of sheet metal has several processes and each requires precision and craftmanship.
Someone who understands the technical formalities required at every stage can give you perfect
shape without much hassle. Fabrication involves cutting, welding, bending and the list is long. Here,
we will take up metal bending and see how it can create miracles even with tough and challenging
steel types as cylindrical rods or reshaping of steel structure and carving out things from it. The process
of bending could either be long and can be done in a short time but at every stage, understanding of
metal strength and type is necessary.

How to get the perfect shape?

For getting the desired shape from sheet metal via bending process, couple of things that needs to be
taken under consideration are technology, machine quality as well as the tools to be used and last but
not the least is the material that has to be used. Points that need to be taken into consideration for
getting the perfect bend are—
• Metal Sheet for bending could either be stainless steel, copper, aluminum or alloys of metals
as these are the most commonly used metals for construction work either for commercial or
residential purposes.
• To achieve accuracy in sheet metal bending, one must realize the properties of the material
under consideration, this would make work simpler. Metal width, length, dimensions and
other exactness related with physical appearance of the material needs to be in clear for using
the correct metal bending technique.
• Another important facet in the bending work is, one has to know about the tools to be used.
Each tool has its own specifications and limitations and for every type of bending, we need a
specific gadget which only a pro welder would be able to tell and guide.
• Steel can be either hard or soft, so bending also depends on the strength of the metal.
• The placement, angle and the handling of tools is a very important aspect in the metal bending
process.
• While metal bending, welder also needs to follow safety measures to avoid any kind of serious
accidents. Like wearing of safety gloves, goggles, work boots and not to forget the area should
be kept as clean as possible to keep a check on any small or big accidents due to fallen pieces.
• Tools should be updated and properly maintained for smooth functioning and for the best
results. This also saves time and completes projects on time.
