Hi,

I need to bend Hardox 500 to an angle of 35 deg. Material thickness is 30 mm, bending length is 75 mm. What would be the most econonmical bending method using a shop 200 ton press.

Thanks

Here is a tip, go to the web site below

Find the Knowledge and Support tab, and inquire. I have used this function before and their technical folks are very helpful.

Thank you metengr,

I tried doing it as specified in the attachment, It always get cracked, Do you think I need to reheat it prior to bending it.
