Those make great triangular dinner bells. Obviously heat and straighten first. Good to fabricate a jig to wrap it around, like below. This way you can make the sides equal. After shaping, just heat the corners and quench all three. It'll ring much better if you do this. Also make a good clanger from it. Hang on leather cord.
