Strength in this bend section is not really an issue. In order to get the properties of an H1025 age at the bend area, would my localized heat treat need a resolution or could I just heat to 1025F? Also how long would you suggest I heat the section for at 1025F?
I have some cast 17-4 pipe (5/8"OD 3/8" ID) that has been heat treated to H925. I would like to make a section of this tube more ductile so I can bend it slightly. I have access to an induction coil. Is there a localized heat treatment that I could perform that would make the material easier...
