What Materials Can a Press Brake Bend?
DESCRIPTION:
Different materials require different bending setups.
Thickness, tensile strength, springback, and tooling selection all matter.
Understanding material behavior is key to efficient bending.
OSM focuses on sheet metal forming solutions built for real production.
VIDEO SCRIPT:
A press brake doesn’t just bend steel.
Common materials include
carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum,
from thin sheets to medium and thick plates.
In real production,
press brakes also handle
galvanized steel, coated sheets, copper, brass,
and even certain high-strength alloys.
It’s not about the material name.
It’s about thickness, strength, and proper bending setup.
Right tonnage, right tooling,
different materials, same precision.
