Short answer - it can't be straightened (safely).

Heating it enough to bend it straight, would heat up the bearing/seal and destroy it, resulting in oil leaks (4 stroke) or crankcase pressure leaks (2 stroke). If it is just the pressed on mounting boss, heating will expand it, and it may not lock onto the shaft again.

All components linked to the blade are critical parts. The blade tips are doing around 200 mph / 320 kph when running at speed. The inertia forces are absolutely huge at these speeds, and any loss of strength through heating, hammering or bending can result in catastrophic failure. Knowing how they build lawnmower chassis these days, would you trust one to contain the shrapnel?

Get More Use Out Of Push Lawn Mowers ?

If your push lawn mower is not working as well as it used to work, you might be thinking about replacing it. Before you purchase a new push lawn mower, check your current mower's blade. Over time, lawn mower blades grow dull and no longer cut grass as effectively. If you take your lawn mower blade to a hardware store that offers a blade sharpening service, you can usually get the blade resharpened for a small fee. With a newly sharpened blade, your old lawn mower could be working just like new.
