Heat Treatment

Annealed / Stress-Relieved

The soft annealing should be performed at temperatures of 700 to 900°C (1,292 to 1,652°F), preferably at about 825°C (1,517°F).

Stress-relief annealing at about 550 to 650°C (1,022 to 1,202°F) should then occur, in order to prevent stress corrosion cracking.
