Neutral Axis
The theoretical plane inside a plate or profile during bending where the material experiences zero stress—neither in compression on the inside nor tension on the outside.
Technical FAQ
Calculating the exact blank length of a plate before rolling is essential for precise edge-to-edge alignment and automated welding line optimization. The neutral axis is the theoretical plane inside a plate or profile during bending where the material experiences zero stress—neither in compression on the inside nor tension on the outside. Accurate mapping of the neutral axis prevents undersized or oversized cylinders, optimizing subsequent longitudinal welding lines. Built on 60 years of heavy industrial manufacturing experience, Davi's calculation methods accurately determine blank development for complex materials.
