Depends on what metal you are refering to. * Aluminum is can be bent at 1 ton * Stainless at 50 ton * Mild Steel at 100 tons * Carbon Steel can be bent at 150 tons. All of these metal depend on the thickness of the material. For example, the thickness of these metal would have to be between the thickness of .25 (quarter inch) to .50 (half inch). Note: It also depends of the quality of the metal. SS 1311-00 steel (Swedish standard), for example, can handle 220N per square millimetre until it reaches its yield point. Once the yield point is passed some fraction of the deformation will be permanent and non-reversible. Answer: Mathematically

Δ = PL3/(48EI) Where: Δ = deflection

L = span

E = Modulus of Elasticity (see link for typicals)

I = Moment of Inertia

b = width

d = depth

I = bd3/12 for a rectangular cross section

What amount of force is needed to bend a steel fence post?

The amount of force that is needed to bend a steel fence post depends with the steel post in question. The force that is required is therefore calculated based on the material in question.


How much force does it take to bend aluminum spoon?

The amount of force needed to bend an aluminum spoon will vary depending on the thickness and alloy of the aluminum. Generally, a moderate amount of force is required to bend an average aluminum spoon by hand.


What amount of force is needed to bend tube mital?

It depends on the thickness of the tube, the diameter of the tube and the shear strength of the material.


How many pounds of force is required to bend a quarter?

The amount of force required to bend a quarter depends on various factors such as the material composition and thickness of the quarter. In general, it would take several pounds of force to bend a quarter due to its small size and the strength of the metal alloy used in its production. Without specific details on the quarter's properties, it is difficult to provide an exact number of pounds of force required to bend it.


What force is needed to bend 1.5 inch square in tubing?

it depends on both the tube wall thickness and the length of the bend and how much you bend it. Otherwise you cannot determine force.


Hold how much pressure can ss304 sheet hold?

304 Stainless has a tensile strength of about 75,000 psi. Its yield strength is about 30,000 psi. Tensile strength is the amount of force required to tear or pull apart the metal. Yield strength is the amount of force required to begin to distort or bend the metal.


Why does metal bend?

Metal bends when a force is applied to it that exceeds its yield strength. The atoms in the metal lattice are able to slide past each other when this force is applied, allowing the metal to change shape without breaking.


Is lead easy to bend?

Yes, lead is a soft metal and can be bent pretty easily.


What force is needed to bend 20 mm high tensile steel?

To know the force, you need to know how much you want to bend it; you also need to know the dimensions of the plate and how it is supported.


Is a crowbar a Force Magnifier or a Distance Magnifier?

Force magnifier... It's basically a lever which pivots around the sharp bend in the metal. This amplifies the force applied to the long arm.


What cause a metal spoon to bend in water?

When a metal spoon is placed in water, the water exerts an upward buoyant force on the spoon due to the displacement of water. If the force of buoyancy is greater than the weight of the spoon, the spoon may bend due to the imbalance of forces acting on it. This effect is especially noticeable if the spoon is made of a soft or thin metal.
