 Vibratory stress relief

Vibratory stress relief (VSR) is a technique used to reduce residual stresses in materials, particularly metals, after processes such as welding, casting, or machining. Residual stresses can lead to warping or premature failure of components, so minimizing them is crucial in manufacturing and construction. The VSR process involves subjecting a component to controlled vibrations, which helps redistribute and relieve the internal stresses.
