Surface Finishing for Bending

Yicen Precision offers a variety of finishing options tailored to your project needs.

As-Bent Finish

 The default finish immediately following bending. Surfaces may exhibit minor marks, distortions, or discoloration due to forming stresses. Surface roughness may also be present.

Bead Blasting

 Applies a consistent matte or satin finish by blasting the surface with fine media. This process helps remove oxidation and create a clean, uniform appearance.

Powder Coating

Applies a durable, protective layer available in various colors and textures, offering excellent corrosion resistance and a finished, aesthetic appearance.

Deburring

Removes sharp edges and burrs from cut or bent sections. Improves safety, handling, and preparation for secondary finishes.

Polishing

 Delivers a smooth, reflective surface ideal for applications where aesthetics and low surface friction are important.

Heat Treatment (Optional)

 In specific applications, post-bend heat treatment may be applied to relieve internal stresses and improve dimensional stability

Anodizing (for Aluminum Tubes)

Creates a protective oxide layer that enhances corrosion resistance and allows for decorative coloring, ideal for lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum tubes.

Passivation

 Recommended for stainless steel tubes. This chemical treatment removes surface contaminants, enhances corrosion resistance, and restores the protective oxide layer.

Engineered for Precision Explore Our Sheet Metal Bending Services

When your project calls for crisp angles, strong edges, and exact dimensions, Sheet Metal Bending is the process that brings flat metal to life. At Yicen Precision, we offer high-precision sheet metal bending services that transform your 2D designs into functional 3D parts ,fast, accurate, and production-ready. From enclosures and brackets to panels and chassis, we bend with consistency and care across every part and every project.

What Is Sheet Metal Bending?

Sheet metal bending is a forming process that uses press brakes and dies to shape flat metal sheets into V-shapes, U-shapes, channels, or other angles. This cold-forming method preserves material strength while enabling complex geometries for mechanical, structural, or decorative applications.

Yicen’s High-Performance Bending Capabilities

Our advanced CNC press brakes are equipped to deliver repeatable bends across various material types and thicknesses. We handle:

  • High-mix, low-volume batches
  • Production-scale orders
  • Tight-tolerance, multi-bend parts

We support bend angles up to 135° or more, depending on the material and part geometry.

Advantages of Our Sheet Metal Bending Service

Tight Tolerances:
Precision CNC control ensures bends are consistent from part to part, critical for assemblies and enclosures.

Design Flexibility:
We bend steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and other alloys into complex forms with ease.

Cost Efficiency:
Minimizes the need for welding and fasteners by incorporating bends into single-sheet designs.

Reduced Lead Time:
In-house bending allows for rapid prototyping and quick production turnaround.

Materials We Bend

  • Mild steel
  • Stainless steel
  • Galvanized steel
  • Aluminum
