Designing for aluminum extrusion for bending entails considering a few things and following some steps. Here is an overview of this design process:

  • Choose the most suitable aluminum alloy for bending
  • Determine the most optimum thickness
  • Choose the die design according to the project requirements
  • Determine the bending radius
  • Decide whether the surface is smooth enough for bending
  • Identify the heat treatment to be used, if necessary
