Problems bending 0.080" 6061 T6 sheet?
Need some sheets bent past 90 degrees to about 100 degrees and since
I've done quite a bit of work on them I'm getting a little nervous about breaking them. They are 10.5" wide where the bend will be and I've oriented the grain with the bend. Am I OK? Do I need to anneal them first? Would heat from a torch help? |
