Thermal Stress Relieving is an annealing process that heats metal below the austenite phase to reduce distortions and dimensional changes from shaping. It alleviates high stresses caused by processes like flame cutting, machining, and welding, which can lead to undesirable residual stress patterns.
This process is particularly important for low carbon grades, helping to remove stresses that develop during production, ensuring parts don’t bow or twist during further processing. The parts are heated to 1100° to 1250°F, held at that temperature to ensure uniformity, and then allowed to cool in the furnace, with no grain transformation occurring.
