I make mine spread by telling it how pretty it is and talking nice to it

I build leaf springs and ubolts for a living, I do this everyday. It works best on an anvil but yeah this is a truck of the trade.

That’s a lot faster than taking it to dinner, and cheaper than buying it jewellery. Thanks!

Soft steel. Won't work on hardened ubolts. I install B&W hitches and the c bolts that go around the frame will LAUGH OUT LOUD at you trying this with them! I've put them in the lathe chuck and squeezed them 1 inch and they open right back up. Spring temper doesn't mind impact or force. AT ALL! Machinist/ Gunsmith/ Heat Treater here.

I do this 3 times a year when the wife lets me get lucky and says it's Mr. Nasty time.

It’s called relieving the stress on a bend it will spread easily a 1/8”inch with a tap. I know this because I run a CNC brake press and I bend Parts for a living

Blown my mind, i did this once with a 4 inch exhaust clamp but never had the opportunity to show people how it works since. About 10 years later i stumble upon this 🤯

Been in the engineering industry for 10+ years now, I've fabricated pipe work from flat plate in the factory to installation at site and the best way to roll a cylinder is to over roll it for the spring back and then gently tap a rubber mallet around the circumference and it will open back up so you can get a more accurate cylinder as appose to an egg shape from when you under roll it and pull it together
Exactly the same as the video, you're releasing the stress and tension out of the material

Also known as bounce or bouncing, common practice in the steel bending industry....tapping or bouncing on wood is preferred over concrete

As an industrial electrician this trick also works with 1”-4” rigid/ ocal conduit to open up an over bent 90. Doesn’t work with TWC. it will dent.

Old school. Common practice not only for U Bolts but to take stress out steel that's been welded.
In shipyard like engine mounts after being welded up they will heat treat them in the oven to remove stress or tension. Long gradual process.
where you slowly increase heat to targeted temp, hold it for x amount of hours then slowly reduce it.
But certain ballistic steels it's not allowed so they use a "vibration or pinging method".
Understand that oven is the size of a tractor trailer and the engine mounts weigh several tons.

Most all metals that are formed have energy stored in them. As a brake operator I would often need to drop parts on the floor to let the impact and vibration spread the angles out a bit.

Same with most things - if in doubt, give it a clout!

I could get into the techno-babble of steel's metallurgical properties and the modulus of elasticity; but, it's sufficient to say that the vibrations created by the "lovetaps" causes the metal to "spring back" (pun intended?) to its original formation. (This works for other "slightly off tolerance" pieces, as well.)

It's called "de-stressing" because tapping the bent or formed face causes the metal to shift back to it's original state slightly because there is still tension in the steel from bending it.

I used to make u-bolts at a spring shop and this is completely true . If you over bent you can fit on hard surface and it will spread .
