Hot bending A 572 gr. 50 steel
Hot bending A 572 gr. 50 steel
(OP)
Hello all,
A structural part of transmission tower made out of A 572 Gr.50 steel requires 122 degree bending.
The part thickness is 3.25". Is it safe to do hot bending? If so what would be the temperature and method to be used?
Furnace, flame etc? Thanks for your quick response

If warm bending does not work, you will be forced to perform hot bending meaning working at above 1650 deg F and air cooling to normalize. This may need to be done by another shop that has the capability to hot form and heat treat.
