Stress Relief Process for Welding: Ensuring Strength and Durability

At our welding facility, we prioritize the quality and durability of every component we weld. One crucial step in our process can be stress relief, which ensures the structural integrity and machinability of welded parts.

Why Stress Relief Matters

When metals are welded, the intense heat can create residual stresses within the material. These stresses arise from rapid heating and cooling cycles, causing the metal to expand and contract unevenly. If left untreated, these stresses can lead to warping, cracking, or even component failure under operational conditions.
