Vibratory Stress Relieving

[KBasson]

Could anyone please forward any comments on the effectiveness of vibratory stress relieving to relieve or reduce residual stresses that are set up during welding procedures of components for example. Does anyone know of documented research that has been carried out in this area? Any comments in this regard will be appreciated.

The following link is to a vendor site so I don't think you find anything negative there, but i's probably a good starting point, if you haven't already seen it...

It just sounds rude to me! This is a family web forum! ;-)
