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.</div><div>Hank</div><div>I will send a picture separately </div><div>Hank</div></div></body></html>
