Considering the alloy composition and properties of the cast alloy steel is crucial for achieving successful bends without compromising the material's integrity. An additional consideration is the design of the bend, which includes the radius of curvature and the viewpoint of the writhe. Sharp bends or compact radii can raise the risk of cracking or distortion, specially in high-strength alloy steels. It's advisable to use bigger fold radii and gradual bends to minimize stress<sp>concentrations and assure uniform deformation across the writhe. Moreover, supporting the steel effectively in the course of bending and employing correct tooling or dies can help control the bending method and prevent deformation or damage. Have you planned out the design and geometry of your bends to enhance their formability and structural integrity?
