UNDERSTANDING SPRINGBACK
Springback, also known as elastic
recovery, is the result of the metal
wanting to return to its original shape
after undergoing compression and stretch.
After the bending leaf is removed from
the metal and the load is released, the
piece part relaxes, forcing the bent
portion of the metal to return slightly to its
original shape. The key to obtaining the
correct bend angle is to over bend the
metal a little and allow it to spring back to
the desired angle. All metals exhibit a
certain amount of spring back.
