Is there anyone here with roll form experience? I restore vintage motorcycles as a hobby and I took on the challenge of making a ring roll with roller dies the shape of a aluminum fender used on the motorcycle. When the aluminum is rolled the inside radius of the fender has to shrink or it creates ripples.
How do I eliminate these ripples during rolling. Some people mentioned heating to aneal or something.
I also am not sure of the exact specs for aluminum I should use. 5052 ?
There are also soft grades of 5052. No clue which I should use.
