    Heating and straightening steel

    Question for you guys. On A572 gr. 50 and A514 steel. Is it allowed to heat the steel and put wet rags on it to stop it from moving anymore. Or is it best to let it air cool and hope it doesn't move go past where you want it.

But the welder is qualified in flat, vertical and horizontal. And the thickness is from 1/8"-unlimited. Can anyone please...
