Stress relieving covers thermal and mechanical processes applied to metallic aerospace structures and components to reduce residual stresses induced by machining, forming, casting, or fabrication, encompassing furnace-based sub-critical annealing, vibratory stress relief (VSR), and cryogenic treatment across aluminium alloys, titanium, steels, and nickel superalloys to restore dimensional stability and prevent distortion.
