Bending

Is the process of transforming a flat sheet in to a single curved sheet. With curvature in two directions, we speak of forming.

• constant radius - bending info on plate indicates the required shape
• non constant radius - 1 or 2 templates indicate the required shape

Restrictions Aluminum 5083-H321 can be bend to an angle of 45° maximum.

Triclad (TC)

TRICLAD® is the trade name of Merrem & la Porte for aluminium/steel transition joints. In generic terms the product is usually referred to as structural transition joint (STJ). It's cross section consist of an explosion bonded composite of seawater resistant aluminium alloy and C-steel and is usually applied in the form of strips or pads when welding together aluminium and steel structures in ship-and off shore construction.
