The Ole Fashioned way...by Hand
While plowing snow I ran into a buried tree stump and seriously bent the scraper blade on my tractor.
The steel was cold and the bend was so fast it cracked the steel not to mention put a twist in the blade with a giant buckle in the steel.
This requires finesse and brute coaxing to straighten the blade body, the hardened steel knife blade bolted onto the bottom which bent and broke, and take the twist out simultaneously.
It takes a large rosebud from my oxy/acetylene torch that puts out about 150,000 BTU's and turns the metal cherry red and malleable.
Applying the heat strategically will also allow the metal blade body and scraper to untwist as it straightens, just the opposite of how it initially bent and twisted.
Heating the steel anneals or softens the steel
Hammering it and hammering it and hammering it (which I don't show you much of) causes the molecules to tighten up and puts the strength back into it
