I've never tried to purposely bend 316L, but have done that to small diameter bars in CNC Swiss style screw machine bar feeders!
You need no oxidizing the surface. What makes you think you should and what purpose would it serve? I have machined a good many motorcycle parts out of 316/316L stainless and they've never even lost their highly polished surface. And yes, it polishes up VERY shiny!
