test procedures7.1 simple bend test7.1.1 applicationthe method is suitable for bending metal of all thicknesses through angles up to a nominal180 degrees.7.1.2 procedurethe simple bend test shall be carried out as follows:(a) place the test piece on two parallel supports; the radius r of the supports shall be not less than 10 mm.the distance between supports for a nominal 180-degree bend shall be equal to(d + 3a) a/2 (see figure 5).(b) apply force through the mandrel at a point midway between the supports.the diameter of the mandrel shall be as specified in the product standard.(c) increase the force slowly until the test piece is bent through the specified angle while the force is still applied.(d) remove the force and examine the external bent portion of the test piece for cracks, or as required by the product standard.note: small cracks at the edges of rectangular test pieces and cracks which require magnification to be visible may be disregarded, unless the product standard indicates otherwise.7.2 vee-block bend test7.2.1 applicationthe method is suitable for bending sheet and strip metals through angles up to a nominal90 degrees. standards a.auas 2505.12004 67.2.2 procedurethe vee-block bend test shall be carried out as follows:(a) lay the test piece across a vee-block which has an included angle as specified in the product standard.(b) apply a force through a mandrel at the midpoint of the vee-block until the test piece is just stopped by the block (see figure 7).the diameter of the mandrel shall be as specified in the product standard.(c) remove the force and examine the external bent portion of the test piece for cracks, or as required by the product standard.note: small cracks at the edges of rectangular test pieces and cracks which require

for bending sheet and strip metals of all thicknesses through angles up to a nominal 180 degrees (see figures 8 and 9).a limitation may arise in the testing of thin metal where a specified radius of the mandrel is less than that which would allow the roller pivot mechanism to be constructed within the mandrel. in such cases use an external pivot design.7.3.2 procedurethe supported mandrel bend test shall be carried out as follows:(a) clamp one end of the test piece and the mandrel in a suitable vice.the size and shape of the mandrel shall be as specified in the product standard.(b) apply a force to the end of the test piece and at right-angles so as to bend the test piece around the mandrel.the force may be applied manually or by blows from a soft mallet or by use of a roller bending device. where a roller bending device is used, the distance from the point of contact of the roller to the mandrel shall not exceed 2a (see figure 9).(c) remove the test piece and examine the external bent portion for cracks, or as required by the product standard.note: small cracks at the edges of rectangular test pieces and cracks which require magnification to be visible may be disregarded, unless the product standard indicates otherwise.7.4 pressure bend test7.4.1 applicationthe method is suitable for bending sheet and strip metals of all thicknesses through angles of bend varying from nominal angles of 90 degrees to 180 degrees.7.4.2 procedurethe pressure bend test shall be carried out as follows:(a) take a test piece and bend through an angle of 90 degrees by one of the preceding methods described in this standard.the diameter of the mandrel used shall be as specified in the product standard.accessed by university of south australia on 27 feb 2007as 2505.12004 8(b) apply a compressive force until one of the following conditions as specified in the product standard is attained:(i) to a specified angle (see figure 10(a).(ii) the arms of the test piece are parallel to each other at a given distance apart(see figure 10(b) and (c).(iii) the thickness of the spacer shall be as specified in the product standard.(iv)the arms of the test piece are in direct contact with each other (seefigure 10(d).(c) remove the test piece and examine the external bend portion for cracks, or as required by the product standard.note: small cracks at the edges of rectangular test pieces and cracks which require magnification to be visible may be disregarded, unless the product standard indicates otherwise.7.5 reverse bend test7.5.1 applicationthe method is suitable for the testing of sheet and strip metal up to about 3 mm thick.7.5.2 procedurethe reverse bend test shall be carried out as follows:(a) select appropriate supports having a radius as specified in the product standard. (b)insert the test piece in the bend test apparatus and clamp tightly (see figure 11).note: tensile pre-stressing of the test piece to ensure close contact with the supports ispermitted, when specified in the product standard.(c) apply a force to bend the test piece through 90 degrees and then return it to its original position (see figure 1).(d) repeat bending through 90 degrees, in accordance with clause 2.5 until the required number of bends required by the product standard is obtained or the metal cracks.note: rate of reverse bending should not exceed 1 per second, unless specified otherwise in the product standard.(e) record the number of reverse bends (nb) which comply with the requirement of the product standard without the test piece cracking or if cracking of the test piece occurs, record the number of complete reverse bends up to the point when the test piece cracks.the actual bend in which the test piece fractures is only counted when the test piece is being bent back to the vertical position.note: small cracks at the edges of rectangular test pieces and cracks which require magnification to be visible may he disregarded, unless the product standard indicates otherwise. standards a.au9 as 2505.12004ftest piece mandrel figure 8 simple bend test around a mandrelmandrel standards a.autest piece vice roller top view f2 amax test piece roller avice pa c king mandrel vice accessed by university of south australia on 27 feb 2007fr ont view figure 9 simple controlled bendas 2505.12004 10ffffa spacer (a)(b)(c)(d) figure 10 variants of pressure bend testsatest piece oper ating handle guide standards a.au0.1 mm max 25 mm to 50 mm suppor trsuppor taccessed by university of south australia on 27 feb 2007gr ips figure 11 reverse bend testing of sheet and stripaccessed by university of south australia on 27 feb 200711 as 2505.120048 test reportany test report issued shall include the following information: (a)reference number of the product standard.(b) sample identity.
