Vibration stress relief

Lufer is always at the forefront of providing solutions for the metalworking market.
Vibration Stress Relief is an industrial process used to ensure dimensional stability and prevent fatigue cracking in a metal structure. Lufer is the exclusive representative of the American company Advanced VSR, considered the leading player in this field.

How does it work?

The conventional stress relief process uses heat. The vibratory process uses mechanical energy through vibrations produced by a force inducer.

What is it for?

Welding, casting, and machining processes generate stresses in components and structures. These stresses can be detrimental to operation and performance if not reduced. The process involves applying controlled mechanical energy to the assembly to mitigate the stresses.

Advantages of the process:

• Reduction in the deadline and execution of the service;
• Carrying out the service in the field or at the customer's facilities;
• Treatment of large parts and components;
• Evaluation of the results of the applied process through comparative graphs;
• Reducing stress in welded assemblies using heat-treated high-strength plates without compromising the plate's properties. This would not be possible using conventional methods.
