Material Stretching
(5/1)
Description
The location of the neutral line ( K-Factor) varies depending on the material itself, radius of the bend, ambient temperature, direction of the material grain, and the method by which it is being bent , etc. The only true effective way of working out the correct bend allowance is to reverse engineer it by taking a measured strip of material, bending it , and then measuring the results.
