7/3/2021 Question: I had a question on K-factors for our 3-D modeling software. Our design engineers typically use a factor of 0.4 for our air-formed press brake
Bend allowance is a fundamental parameter to calculate sheet elongation. This is defined as the length of the neutral fibre from the beginning to the end of the arc
8/11/2021 K factor chart. The following are K-factors for common materials. Soft copper or soft brass: K=0.35. Semi-hard copper or brass, mild steel, aluminium etc.:
K Factor in sheet metal bending is a constant used to calculate sheet metal flat length or Flat-pattern. Mathematically k factor value is equal to the
6/6/2021 We will start by calculating the Bend Allowance. From there we can calculate the K-Factor and the Bend Deduction. After bending the sheet we need to do some
11/2/2021 Sheet Metal Bending – Methods, Design Tips K Factor Bending is one of the most common sheet metal fabrication operations. Also known as press braking
18/7/2003 For instance, with an inside bend radius of .030” and an aluminum thickness of .063” the K-Factor is .404, yet for cold rolled steel with a thickness of .060”
17/10/2021 The default K-factor is 0.44, which simply means that Inventor is assuming that 44% through the cross section of the part, the material is not stretched or squashed when bending, and therefore this slice of the folded part will give the true length of the flat pattern. In reality, how a real metal part will stretch as it bends depends on a
26/5/2021 The Bend Deduction Formula takes into account the geometries of bending and the properties of your metal to determine the Bend Deduction. Values you will need to know will include your material thickness (MT), the Bend Angle (B<), the Inside Radius (IR), and the K-Factor (K). When entering the Material Thickness, use the decimal form in place
18/7/2003 For instance, with an inside bend radius of .030” and an aluminum thickness of .063” the K-Factor is .404, yet for cold rolled steel with a thickness of .060” the K-Factor is .467. I originally posted because we have other data from one of our engineer’s class
K-factor - The location of the neutral axis in the material, calculated as the ratio of the distance of the neutral axis (measured from the inside bend surface) to the material thickness. The K-factor is dependent upon several factors (material, bending operation, bend angle, etc.) and is typically greater than 0.25, but cannot exceed

The bending radii that must be maintained for conventional winding technology do not apply here. The design freedom of casting technology allows slot fill factors of up 90 percent be realized. Wound coils, in contrast, normally only have slot fill factors of up
The K-factor of a bend is ratio of neutral axis to thickness, so when K = 0.50, neutral axis is in exact center of thickness: half thickness compresses and half of it stretches. On very tight bends, however, K value changes where
2/2/2012 K-Factor for multiple bends. All you need is a SOLIDWORKS ID, or new or existing 3DEXPERIENCE ID. I\'m working on a series of sheet metal parts to come up with a K-Factor for various thicknesses of sheet metal, and various number of bends. We started with some sample pieces (6\" x 6\") in various thicknesses from 16GA to 3/8\" Hot
