Stress relief

Stress relief for long-lasting performance

Internal stresses build up in steel through processes like welding, machining, forming, or uneven cooling. These residual stresses can lead to warping, distortion, or premature fatigue. At Arctic Steel, our stress relief service helps tidy up these issues, so your components perform reliably in the field.

We offer two proven methods

01
Heat treatment — where the steel is heated below its transformation point, held at specific temperatures, then cooled slowly. This method alleviates internal stresses without changing hardness or other critical material properties.  
02
Metalax® (vibratory stress relief) — using patented sub-harmonic vibrations to relieve thermal stresses, which avoids the side-effects of heat treatment like distortion, scaling, or altering mechanical properties. Faster to apply and useful especially for finished assemblies or materials sensitive to heat.
