Bending causes friction at the molecular level thus creating heat. Continuous bending rips the bond between molecules and eventually the metal object breaks.

Bending metal causes friction which causes stress... therefore the metal gets warm. Unseen molecules are basically rubbing against eachother.

All metals do that, it is caused by friction.;
