ok as i spend time beating hot metal i think. and i hit a question not to long back. if i get a hold of some scrap that busted from fatigue, what does it take to undo that fatigue? heating and beating. just heating? what temps? does it need to get welding temps? can it only be done by resmelting?
on a related note can you assume the fatigue is throughout the piece or might it be localized at the point of failure?
