Bending is a metal forming process that shapes materials by applying force, causing plastic deformation where the outer surface stretches and the inner surface compresses. It is commonly performed on sheet metals, rods, and bars using machines like press brakes and roll benders. The process depends on factors such as material type, thickness, bend radius, and applied force. Accurate results require proper bend calculations and strict safety measures. Bending is widely used in manufacturing and construction to produce parts like brackets, frames, and panels.
