Stress Relief
Decreased tension inside a steel structure without altering heavily its hardness.
Pros
Cons
Stress relief allows to decrease the internal tension of steel without decreasing heavily its hardness.
Usually it is performed between 150-180 C° (carbon steel/low alloyed steels) and between 170-210 C° (case hardening steels).
Common usages
Reduction of structural tensions without altering its hardness
