The sharpest bend that can be placed in a piece of metal without critically weakening the part is called the
- maximum radius of bend.
- minimum radius of bend.
- bend allowance limit.
Explanation from PART66Online
The minimum radius of bend is the sharpest (smallest-radius) bend that can be formed in a given material and thickness without cracking the outer fibres or critically weakening the part. Bending tighter than this overstretches the outside surface; a generous or maximum radius is safe but is not the limiting case the question describes.
