Can anyone tell me the AWS code for bending deformed bar.  I've got A 496 but it says nothing about bending and stresses.

AWS only addresses welding rebar, not fabricating rebar.

Hey, I found it!  
D1.1 Structural Welding Code 7.6.6.1 
The bar can be bent 90 degrees from it's original axis over a pin that is
4 times it's dia.

You lost me on that one.  7.6.6.1 addresses bend testing of studs, not deformed bars.

A496 Minimum bend diameters:

DBA dia.      Min. bend dia.

1/2"                   3"

5/8"                   3 3/4"

3/4"                   4 1/2"

7/8"                   5 1/4"

1"                      6"

DBA's should always be bent before welding.  The weld should not be closer than two times the DBA diameter from the bend.
