I made a 90 degree bend in several pieces of 4130 .090. Am I supposed to heat them up to relieve stress? I feel like I heard that somewhere but no answer in Tony B's books or AC43.13-1B (or I missed it).
Thanks!

Re: Heating steel after bending
If you had the proper grain direction and minimum bend radius you shouldn't have to stress release.

Re: Heating steel after bending
Thank you. Grain and radius are fine, so I'm going to leave it.
