15. Recommended Limits of Embossed Parts

Limits for depths of embossments to minimize fracturing.

FLAT V-BENDS - L (MAX) = 3T*

OFFSETS - L (MAX) = R1 + R2**

* Reduce to 2T for commercial grades of steel, one-quarter hard tempers, and alloys of aluminum.

** Reduce to .5(R1 + R2) for commercial grades of steel, one-quarter hard tempers, and alloys of aluminum.
