Ex-Ten Fabricating Practice For Cold Forming

Thickness Suggest Min. Inside Radius for Angle Bends
Up to .187 Incl. 1 1/2t
Over .187 to .2299 (Sheets Only) 2t
Plates (1/2” Max) 2 1/2t

Hot forming is recommended for plates over ½” thick. Hot forming may result in the lowering of the as-rolled mechanical properties.
