Stress Relieving
Dabaspet Unit Stress Relieving Furnace
The Stress Relieving Process:
Stress relieving involves controlled heating and cooling of metals to eliminate over 90% of internal stresses without altering the product shape. Conducted at approximately 650°C for an hour or until uniformity in temperature is achieved, this process is crucial for restoring the material’s physical and mechanical properties. Alloy steels, due to their composition, may require higher temperatures for effective stress relief. Following heat treatment, parts are air-cooled in still air, gradually reducing the temperature to avoid thermal shock.
Benefits Beyond Stress Reduction:
While primarily aimed at stress reduction, stress relieving also enhances material strength and manufacturability, aiding in:
- Improved machining and formability
- Restored ductility following cold working operations
- Enhanced product performance through increased strength and other desirable characteristics
Steels, in particular, are highly amenable to stress relieving due to their favorable response to heat treatment. This adaptability, coupled with steel’s widespread commercial use, underscores the material’s suitability for heat treatment processes.

Enhancing Component Integrity with Stress Relieving for Machined Parts
Stress relieving is a critical post-machining process, essential for large, complex parts susceptible to internal stresses induced during manufacturing. This process is pivotal in preserving the dimensional accuracy and long-term stability of components used across various industries.
Why is Stress Relieving Important?
- Prevents Distortion and Cracking: Internal stresses can lead to part distortions and cracking, especially if the components are under clamping forces in their application. Stress relieving mitigates these risks, ensuring the part maintains its intended shape and strength over time.
- Maintains Tolerance Levels: For parts with tight dimensional tolerances or significant material removal, stress relieving is crucial to prevent alterations in hole locations and other critical dimensions that could render the part out of specification.
Ideal Candidates for Stress Relieving:
- Large and complex weldments
- Heavily machined castings
- Components requiring precise dimensional tolerances
- Parts subjected to extensive stock removal
