Extruding sheet metal.

Bend relief in sheet metal bend bend relief is provided at the end of bending edge in sheet metal design to avoid any crack tearing in the corner. Steel expanded metal is a sheet product that has been slit and stretched to a wide array of diamond shaped openings steel expanded metal offers savings in weight and metal free passage of light liquid sound and air while providing a decorative or ornamental effect. If an extruded hole is too close to the part edge it can lead to deformation or tearing of the metal. Relief height is generally kept greater than two times of sheet thickness plus bend radius.

The length of the extruded part will vary dependant upon the amount of material in the work piece and the profile. Hillman 12 in x 24 in cold rolled steel expanded sheet metal. Relieve the punch after extruding the straight section to allow for lubricant to settle into the negative portion of the punch. Item 168753 model 11786.

The punch should be polished linearly to a mirrorlike surface finish. Standard extrusions sheet our products ems offers nationwide supplier of quality aluminum components which include custom aluminum extrusions manufacturing as well as complete custom aluminum fabrication services. We have the largest furnaces in the region capable of heat treating aluminum products up to 35 long. The extrusion punch should be made of highly wear resistant tool steel powdered metal pm preferably or solid carbide material.

Many companies have found that aluminum extrusion is the way to go and have decided to move beyond using sheet metal to create their machined products. Metal extrusionis a metal forming process in which a work piece of a certain length and cross section is forced to flow through a die of a smaller cross sectional area thus forming the work to the new cross section. Extruding metal is one of the most extreme pressure applications in press working and generates lot of friction and heat.
