[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 167570, member: 2736"] Rogue The barrel is heated to a predetermined temperature based on the material and held for a predetermined time and then cooled down slowly in a furnace. I heard the term Stress relieve used more than once on this thread and I think this needs to be cleared up!! A barrel that has been stress relieved still has some stresses because if you go high enough to remove all of the stress it would ruin the barrel because the temperature would be above yield for the material (1800 to 2400 degrees) and thats what is called an anneal. All that a stress relieve does is reduce the stress to a reasonable level and make the material more stable I'm sure we have a metallurgist on this web site that could explain it much better. Maybe Specweldtom will chime in and help ? J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
