Can Meta-Lax stress relief be applied during welding, and if so why would one want to?
YES, Bonal developed and patented the concept of using vibrations during welding. We call this Meta-Lax “weld conditioning” or “pulse puddle arc welding.” The main benefits of Meta-Lax weld conditioning are preventing 50-95% of the normal weld distortion and preventing 50-95% of weld cracking. There are numerous other bonus benefits to using Meta-Lax weld conditioning like welding up to 25% faster, reducing (up to 300-F -150-C) preheat, reducing porosity, and more.
