Stress Relief of smallish 316 parts
Stress Relief of smallish 316 parts
(OP)
Yes they are about 100mm or smaller
Wire cut , machining , that sort of thing
My question
To what temp do I take the rough blank , and for how long
And also how do I cool it
My guess is 1100C, and rapid cool same as for annealing , I may be wrong
Thanks

They only disadvantage is they have a heat tint when removed. If the heat tint is acceptable it is an excellent passivation procedure.

I had a feeling a lower temp would suffice
Thanks heaps

1050C is a better bet.
If the parts are thin then cooling should be an issue. They will cool plenty fast
