2. Stress relief and softening treatments
2.1 Softening treatments
The purpose of softening treatments is to facilitate the deformation of materials during forming operations or to facilitate machining.
When the material has previously been work-hardened, the level of treatment should enable restoration or recrystallization. In concrete terms, the effectiveness of this treatment will mainly depend on the solutionization of the hardening phase (γ ' or
