Wearalloy Steel Forming Services
Ford Steel is a leading provider of AR steel plate forming services. Wearalloy 400 and 450 can be cold formed in a press brake or rolls. At sharper bends, wear plate forming should be performed with the axis of bend at right angles to the rolling direction or cross-grain of the plate. The rough edges on the plate should be removed by grinding prior to forming. It is necessary to allow for a bending radius of 3 to 5 times that of ordinary steel. Minimal cold forming can be performed on our Wearalloy 500 with proper equipment.
