3 Bending Properties :.5 rel. Bending Radius R/T bending edge transvers to rolling direction bending edge in rolling direction 9 Bending Bending test according to EN ISO 7438 is done with 1 wide samples. Smaller samples in general as well as lower thickness allow a l ower bending ra dius without cracks. If needed we supply bending optimized temper classes that far exceed standard quality. Pl ease ta ke care when comparing with ASTM E 29 results, there the bend definition direction is contradictory. Bending Definition rel.

This method is taking short time relaxation into account. so that the values achieved are very realistic, while other test methods like tube test pretend better properties from the achieved values. Relaxation values give an indication about stress relieve of strip under tension for a certain ti me a nd temperature. As it is measured on plain strip. the behaviour of deformed parts may differ. nevertheless the ratio between the different tempers remains the same. Typical test sample thickness is.3.6. Page 4

5 Softening Resistance Vickers Hardness HV R66 at 5 C After short time heat treatment Vickers Hardness is measured. The diagram shows typical values Time [s] Bend Fatigue (at room temperature) The fatigue strength gives an indication about the resistance to variations in applied tension. It is measured under syetrical alternating load. The maximum bending load for 1 7 l oad cycl es without cra ck is measured. Dependent on the temper class it is approximately 1/3 of the tensile strength R m. Page 5
