Most commonly this process is repeated multiple times until desired lengths and material thickness are achieved.
The decrease in material thickness causes the material to elongate.
Variations in material thickness due to corrosion can be identified and graphically portrayed as an image.
Structural depth can be defined either by ion range or by material thickness.
The die opening dimension depends on material thickness.
Typically ironing should not exceed a depth of 30% of the material thickness.
Construction materials - High strength reduces the need for material thickness which generally saves weight and cost.
The production rate depends greatly on the material thickness and the bend radius, it is also affected by the number of stations or steps required.
This allows for changes in material thickness to be made with usually no necessary changes to the tool.
Flushing is an important factor in determining the maximum feed rate for a given material thickness.
