Bending 6Al-4v Titanium
Need to bend a 1" wide X 3/16" or 1/8" thick at a 90deg bend... Can it be done without breaking it?
Would like to get as tight a 90 as possible.
Have no problem getting a bender to use just wonder if anyone here has bent Ti before and how it should be done?
 
Very easily. Heat it to cherry red , bend itto what you want, and let it cool without placing it in water or oil. Frank
