The material is pre hardened before machining. It is 28-32 Rc at delivery. It isn't a big deal if I can't straighten it as the parts will pull down straight at assembly.

Hi I am new to this forum and am seeking advice on the best way to strighten 4140 Ht. I have so parts that have been machined and have bowed .015" ove 24". Is there a way to straighten this without heat. The thinest part is 3/4" and the thickest is 1.5".
Thanks in advance...
