Bending and Forming
 
    Aluminum bus conductors can be formed by the same procedures and practices that are used for other metals. The most important factors governing the bending of bus conductors are: (I) the ductility of the conductor, (2) the size and shape of the conductor, (3) the method of bending, and (4) the bending equipment used.

 
    A metal must be ductile enough to permit both stretching and compression to take place. However, elongation alone is not a complete criterion for ductility. The ratio of yield strength to tensile strength must also be taken into account. A combination of a high elongation value and a low ratio of yield strength to tensile strength provides the most satisfactory ductility.

    Another factor that governs bending is the size and shape of the bus conductor. For example, in the case of a tube, the sharpness of a bend depeods not only on the diameter of the tube, but also on the ratio of wall thickness to diameter. In the case of edgewise bends of rectangular angle of 90 degrees to minimum inside radli.
