Trying to bend 2" ".030" thick aluminum angle in a 90-degree arc. I have taken a saw and cut the back with several slots then pried them open and bridged the slots by welding them, but need to eliminate the welding. Thought about bending two heavier pieces of steel angle then pressing the aluminum between like a sandwich but I'm wondering where the "extra" aluminum is going to go as you know I'm sure either the center has to expand or the sides need to compress in order to retain the V. Maybe I need to figure a different way to "expand" the center of the angle? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Emmett
