Stress Reliving

A heat treating process (usually below 1250F) to remove welding, cold working or other internal strains to avoid part movement during later heat treatment or machining.

Bending, welding, grinding, rolling, cold working, solidication, quenching, stamping, and other operations, can introduce new stresses into the structure of a metal part. Stress relieving is a heat treatment process designed to relieve residual stresses caused any such manufacturing process.
