2156- Once the filler weld was completed, the eyebars were checked for heat distortion.Figure D.9 demonstrates the resulting heat distortion from the welding in EyebarB. This eyebar was then heated using a torch until the metal reached a cherry redcolor (approx 1200 o F) as seen in Figure D.10. Once the eyebar was red hot, itwas hammered against a hard surface to achieve the desired straightness.7- Both eyebars were allowed to completely cool in air slowly to room temperature.8- The weld surface was ground smooth until the faces were flush with the eyebar.
