Or the junk like angle, flat etc, even from the steel merchant.
I needed to bend some 50-50-3 mm angle the other day, using heat. I
needed a nice sharp angle and so I got it plenty hot. When I had bent
it, I ran water over it to cool it. You could hear the difference
between that one and another that I did then allowed to cool. It rang.
Rough test, but it sounded hard. I heated it and let it cool. I would
rather it bent than snapped.
If you buy the junk in hardware stores, you may be getting anything.
