How does Meta-Lax stress relief compare to thermal stress relief?
The most important comparison between Meta-Lax and thermal stress relief is that both processes achieve effective results consistently. Meta-Lax is as good or better than thermal stress relief in achieving effective stress relief results on a consistent basis. The main differences lie in the side-effects that heat has on metal. Meta-Lax stress relief does not cause heat side-effects including treatment distortion, scaling, or changing of the mechanical properties.
