Select the metal type you are working with from the drop down menu for example aluminum 6063 or brass.
Calculating potential metal sheet.
Procedure is as below.
Here are the steps to be followed to calculate sheet metal flat length.
Choose the shape of the piece from the drop down menu.
Zn s 2 ag aq 2 ag s zn 2 aq e 1 100 v.
Ultimate tensile strength psi.
You can easily calculate by entering sheet metal dimensions without any restrictions.
Use k factor calculator to calculate k factor values.
Keep default values in calculator as zero.
Enter k factor values.
With material selection you can detail sheet metal.
Even though we had to multiply the silver reduction by a factor of 2 so that the electrons consumed would balance with those produced by the zinc oxidation we do not multiply the silver reduction potential by this factor.
Enter flange length internal radius and thickness values.
After the calculation you can see total weight in the calculations section.
There are standard charts available with sheet metal design handbook for calculating k factor ideally it should be 0 5.
So if you got k factor value now you can easily calculate bending allowance.
You can calculate sheet metals more easily with calculation of the sheet metals you use in project.
You must calculate each different shape and size separately and then add the results together by hand.
