Stress relief annealing reduces residual stresses from manufacturing processes without changing the structure or properties of the material. This is done by heating the metal to a certain temperature and then cooling it in a controlled manner. This helps to remove any internal stresses caused by quenching or other manufacturing methods, thus avoiding potential future problems.
