HS 702 Bend Angle

So this pic is rotated 90 degrees - cannot figure out how to rotate it in the blogger tools. Anyway, this is a clearer pic that shows the detail of what concerned me about the bend line. I was not sure if I would be creating a stress riser since the bend line and the corner radius of the flange intersected. Turned out it was no big deal for a 6 degree angle, but may very well have become a big deal requiring additional fabrication and trimming of metal if the angle for the bend was greater.
