    How long to heat up mild steel in an oven

    Hi, I need to calculate how long it would take a 1m x 0.5m x 0.003 mild steel sheet to reach to 200^c from ambient 20^c when placed in an oven at 200^C. The CP of mild steel is 0.490kj/kgK and density is 7860kg/m^3 I can get to the energy required, but im struggling finding a method for time...

    Bending force query

    Hi All, I've been trying to figure out a way to calculate the bending force required to permanently deform a steel plate. The process involves pressing a 300mm wide, 2mm thick s275jr plate into a shaped die. The desired outcome is to form a 90mm radius that passes along the entire width of the...
