How To Stress Relieve Structural Steel?
(OP)
Hi
I am designing a steel structure that will be a welded construction using hot rolled square hollow section steel to BS EN 10025 S275JOH.
I need to know the following:
1) What is a suitable stress relieving process?
2) Will the stess relieving have any effect on the strength of the stucture?

To answer your second question – given a proper PWHT, the strength of the structure will not be compromised.

We used it a couple of times on fabrications with a lot of welding. Seemed to work!
