Industries Mill Products Division provides stress relieving for bar products.
The Mill Products Division can provide stress relieving service to material having residual internal stresses after thermal or mechanical processing.
Stress relieving is an intermediate heat treatment procedure used to reduce residual stresses that have been induced in a material by heat treatment, straightening, machining, fabrication, cold forging or welding. If residual stress in a material is not reduced or removed prior to final machining or fabrication operations, the resulting parts may warp or deform.
Our furnaces are continuous roller hearth furnaces. The material travels the full length of the furnace, thereby assuring that the material undergoes a uniform heating and cooling cycle. Temperatures can range from 500 degrees to 1275 degrees F.
If stress relieving is required for material that has been heat treated, we require a detailed description of the previous heat treat cycle so that we can minimize any changes to the mechanical properties of the material.
