Common Aluminum Bending Defects and Causes

This article identifies common aluminum bending defects such as cracking, wrinkling, thinning, twisting, and springback. It explains their root causes, ranging from improper bend radius and unsuitable alloys to tool misalignment and excessive pressure. By understanding these issues, fabricators can adjust processes, materials, and tooling to reduce defects and improve part quality.
