Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We’ve answered the most common inquiries about our bending process, materials, and project support.
What bending services does AluBend provide for sculptures ?
The minimum bending radius for aluminium profiles depends on various factors, including the profile’s dimensions, alloy, and wall thickness. As a general guideline, aluminium profiles with larger dimensions and thicker walls typically have larger minimum bending radii.
For standard aluminium alloys and profiles, the minimum bending radius is often expressed as a multiple of the profile’s wall thickness. As a rule of thumb, the minimum bending radius is typically around 2 to 3 times the wall thickness for common aluminium profiles.
However, it’s important to note that the specific minimum bending radius may vary based on the material’s properties and the bending process used. Some specialised aluminium alloys or profiles may have different bending requirements and recommendations.
To ensure the proper bending of aluminium profiles, it is advisable to consult with experienced professionals or refer to bending guidelines provided by the aluminium profile manufacturer. They can provide specific recommendations based on the profile’s dimensions, alloy, and intended application to ensure the best bending results without compromising the material’s structural integrity.
What types of aluminum profiles are used in sculpture work?
Yes, both T4 and T6 aluminum alloys can be bent. T4 alloys are generally more formable and easier to bend, while T6 alloys have enhanced strength and hardness but may be less formable.
Careful consideration of the specific alloy properties and bending requirements is necessary for successful bending. Consulting with experienced professionals is recommended for guidance on best practices and techniques.
