Press Brake
Bend Allowance - 90º
Example 1 - Bending 1mm mild steel in a 6mm ‘V’ die If (f) = Elongation factor If (d) = Blank development size
20.0
d = (20 + 40) - 2f d = 60 - (2 x 0.87) d = 58.26 mm

The following tables show the elongation factor (f) of mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium during a 90° bend.
V = V - width (mm) t = material thickness (mm) f = bend allowances (mm)
