[QUOTE="tinman, post: 6549792, member: 11821"] Used to work for a crowd (20 yrs ago) who used Hardox in certain applications, the only way they could stop it from cracking at the edges and along the seam was to pre heat it. the only way i can fold it is to pre heat it anyways so that covers both bases. i dont use much of it here, anything i have lying about is an off cut from an engineering company. i cant fold anything too wide as i only have an attachment for the iron worker to do what i need, it will fold up to 500mm wide, i made up a bracket not so long ago using hardox 500, what i was looking to bend was only about 300mm wide in 1/2 plate, my machine is only 55T but can comfortably fold 400mm odd in 1/2 MS but with the 300mm of hardox it could hardly bow it until i warmed it up to nearly a straw colour. its hard stuff to fold, for the likes of my outfit anyways.
