Abstract:Sheet metal is widely used in industry and in different production processes. The present work aims to reduce the bending force in the air-die bending process. Different mild steel sheet thicknesses (0.5, 0.75, 1, and 1.25 mm) were considered, and two techniques were proposed. The first technique involves an annealing process, while the second one considers cutting a rectangular hole along the bending line. The bending stress was calculated using Autodesk inventor software. The results revealed that the anneal… Show more
