[PSUBS-MAILIST] bend test

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi All,I tried sending pictures of my bend test from my Elementary 3000 sample.  I was rather confused and thought I may have not bent it sideways but in fact I was right the first time and it is bent sideways.  I cut my sample into a square so it will clamp into a band saw.  I took a piece off the side and cut it 3\4 inches wide, so the sample is 2\4 by 1 inch thick.  I bent it over a 1.5 inch mandrel and there is no cracking at all.  There is a wierd thing though,  before the bend you could not see where the weld was but after the bend you could see a slightly raised area where the weld met the parent metal.  I filed that tine bump smooth and there is no cracking or anything.  Wierd.HankI will send a picture separately Hank
