8×4 Aluminum Tube Cracking Same 8×4 Aluminum Tube After Being Stress RelievedĪluminum is available in varying grades and tempers and must undergo state-of-the-art processes to avoid cracking, work hardening, or collapsing at the bend. If the operator is not familiar with the tendencies of aluminum, the material can crack or become deformed. Many sports and entertainment arenas use curved aluminum for its lightweight and strength when making curved supports for overhead signage, display boards, and monitors.Ĭurving or rolling aluminum can be a little bit more difficult than curving or rolling normal carbon steel. Structural shapes can be rolled into rings for many uses, the corrosion resistance, as well as its strength-to-weight ratio, make aluminum rings very useful.

An aluminum bending machine (aluminum profile bending machine) can bend almost all aluminum structural shapes.
