Bending brake capacity: 2024-T3 vs. mild steel?
Hi folks,
Most bending brakes rate their capacity by the thickness of mild steel that can be bent. How does this relate to capacity of 2024-T3 aluminum? So, what aluminum thickness can a 16ga, 20ga, 22ga, ... brake handle? Should I simply multiply by the ratio of the yield strengths? That somehow seems like an oversimplification..... Thanks a lot.
