STRESS RELIEVING: (300 - 1400°F)
Thermal
Stress Relieving is generally applied to metallic materials that have
been cold-worked, formed, machined, flame-cut, or weld-fabricated to
reduce residual stresses for dimensional stability or reduced risk of
premature failure in service.
ASME Section
I: (900 - 1300°F) Stress relieve/Post-Weld Heat Treat in accordance
with ASME Section I, PW-39 for carbon steel weldments.
ASME Section
VIII: (900 - 1300°F) Stress relieve/Post-Weld Heat Treat in
accordance with ASME Section VIII, UCS-56 for carbon steel weldments.
AWS D1.1:
(900 - 1200°F) Stress relieve/Post-Weld Heat Treat in accordance
with AWS D1.1, 5.8. for carbon steel or quench and tempered weldments.
Westinghouse
83030QA: (1175°F ± 25°F) Westinghouse approved
stress relieve procedure for carbon steel welded structures.
General
Electric P8A-AG1, P10G-AL-0003 & -0004: (1125 - 1275°F, 1125 - 1200°F,
and 1250 - 1300°F) General Electric approved stress relieve
procedures for carbon steel.
Standard
Stress Relieve: (1100 - 1200°F) Typically applied to ferrous
materials to reduce residual stresses for improved dimensional stability
or reduced risk of premature failure in service.
Low Temperature
Stress Relieve: (325 - 775°F) Typically applied to Stainless
Steel and Aluminum Welded Fabrications to reduce residual stresses with
little or no effect of the corrosion resistance and/or mechanical properties.
