Thread: Bending Mild Steel Flat bar |

I was thinking of holding one side in the vice and heating the bend area only with a torch. |

Thanks for the reply. I suspected that I need to heat it. I am assuming red hot should be enough. I will experiment with a similar piece of scrap flat bar and see how it goes. I can't afford to get it wrong on the original piece as too much work has already been done on it.

Hi everybody
I have a mild steel flat bar which is 18.5mm x 9.5mm and about 18inches long. I need to give it a small bend roughly in the middle. Can I try to fix it in a vice and bend it cold or do I need to heat the bend area?
Thanks in advance
