Bending AR400
Bending AR400
(OP)
Hi,
I'm bending a plate of AR400(20"x4"x3/4") 90°, then when the part is in use there is a force on the in the direction to unbend the part. My questions are; how important is the grain direction of the AR400 to the direction of the bend? does the plate need to be stress relived to the part doesn't unbend? or should the part be forged then quenched to help it retain its shape?
Thanks

The bent part should not spring back over time. What does the part do?

If you need more strength, there is AR500 available.
