Introduction
1. Stress Relaxation of Metals
and Alloys
A bar loaded to an initial stress of, say, 40,000
psi and then held at constant strain and temperature
may after a time period have a remaining stress of
only 30,000 psi. This time-dependent stress reduction of 10,000 psi is called stress relaxation. The
total strain remains fixed but a part of the elastic
strain is replaced with inelastic strain.
Examples of stress relaxation are:
a) loss of preload of a bolt in a rigid flange,
b) decrease of residual stresses, and
c) stress redistribution in a component with complex
geometry.
This book compiles stress relaxation data for
metals and alloys over a range of temperatures and
initial stresses. A comparison of the 1000-hour relaxation strength for several classes of alloys has
been shown in Figure 1. This comparison was made
on an approximately equal basis in the earlier ASTM
compilation. [D1]* Relaxation characteristics of
materials, methods of testing, and the utilization of
relaxation data are reviewed in subsequent sections
of this Introduction.
2. Relaxation Mechanics
In the stress relaxation process, the total strain
is constant and the stress reduction at constant temperature occurs as elastic strain is converted to an
inelastic strain. The types of inelastic strains described below are due to anelasticity, plasticity,
microplasticity, and creep.
2.1 Anelastic strain.
e
a , is the transient strain for
a stress change and it is recovered when the stress
change is reversed. P* 1] *
Anelasticity results from internal friction and
is a function of stress, o , stress rate, J , temperature, T , composition, magnetic properties,
degree of order, and elastic fields. Dislocation
dynamics are often used to explain the transient
behavior. •*J A simple model can be used to
describe the general dynamics as follows:
a,a + a,5 = b,e + b2« ,
where o is the stress, e is the strain, and a and b
are constants.
The anelastic strain is usually only 2 to 5% of
the elastic strain. [Rl, R3] It also influences the
Young's modulus; therefore, the dynamic modulus
is called the unrelaxed modulus while the static
modulus is the relaxed modulus.
The anelastic strain can be out of phase with
the stress and it will contribute to internal heating
during fatigue at high frequencies. P*4]
2. 2 Plastic strain, «p , is the permanent strain
measured when a material is loaded to a stress
above the elastic limit and then unloaded. Since the
elastic limit is a function of the strain rate and the
temperature, this strain for a given stress is also
affected. The plastic strain range for a cyclic stress
range is the difference between the strain range and
the elastic strain range.
2. 3 Mlcroplastic strain, ^p , is the transient
strain for an applied stress and is not fully recovered when the stress is reversed. • ^J Together
with the anelastic strain, it accounts for the timedependent strain observed below the macro-yield
stress and the recovery on stress reversal. The
effects of temperature and strain-rate sensitivity
on this strain are similar to those for the plastic
strain, but the magnitude of the mlcroplastic strain
is usually only 5 to 15% of the elastic strain and
reaches a finite limit at temperatures, T , below
0. 4 of the absolute melting temperature, Tm, of
a material. Since this strain reaches a limit, it
will not be referred to as "creep" which is described below for temperatures above 0. 4 Tm , although it contributes to "primary" creep and recovery. [

2.4 Creep. For temperatures above 0.4 Tm, the
thermal activation enhances the flow mechanisms.
Creep is defined as the time-dependent deformation
under applied stress, <j , which persists with time.
Under constant stress or load, three stages of creep
are identified for many materials: Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary.
2.4.1 Primary creep strain, «„ , is the limited
strain which occurs (after loading) with a diminishing rate; £
o can encompass some of the mechanisms
described above. This limited strain has been expressed as:[R7»8]
£
o = A[exp(-B/T)] ( o/ a0 )* [1 - exp(-Ct)],
where t is the time and A, B,
constants.
C , "o and m are
2.4.2 Secondary creep, '
t
, accumulates at a creep
rate, j , as long as a stress is applied. This strain,
therefore, is:
e
«= ft dt
where k is a function of stress and temperature for a
material in a given metallurgical state. Many mechanisms of creep have been postulated^" ^J; one based
on a diffusion process is:
k = a[exp(-Qc/kT)] Sinh ( ° /ae ),
where Qc is the activation constant for creep, a0 can
be a function of temperature, T, and a and * are
constants.
2.4.3 Tertiary creep is one of increasing creep rate
above the minimum secondary rate, up to rupture. It
is a result of the damage processes which accompany
the accumulated strain. The concern here is the reduction of local ductility which can occur in some materials under high constraint, especially multiaxial
stress[R9> 10, 11]. An example is "stress relaxation cracking" or "reheat cracking"[»12] when residual stresses in welds are relaxed.
3. Stress Relaxation Testing
Research on stress relaxation has been dictated
by the following goals:
1. Design data for bolting and spring applications
2. Correlation of creep- and relaxation data
3. Fundamental studies for a given theory
4. Hold-time effects in creep-fatigue damage.
The American Society for Testing and Materials
has developed standard recommended practices for
stress-relaxation tests for materials and structures.
[R13] which allow comparison of data from different
sources. The "relaxed stress" is defined there as the
initial stress minus the remaining (residual) stress
during a stress-relaxation test. Tension tests have
the advantage that the stress can be measured easily and the gage length can be larger for better sensitivity in maintaining constraint with a given extensometer. The relaxation test can be performed by
differing loading procedures:
a) Initial stress at test temperature,
b) Initial total strain at test temperature,
c) Initial total strain at room temperature,
followed by heating to a peak test temperature for a time period,
d) Repeated loadings to selected stress"levels,
e) Holding at a given strain in a cyclic stressstrain loop.
The most common test employed to determine
the stress-relaxation characteristics of materials
is the tension test of a specimen with uniform cross
section, instrumented with a sensitive extensometer,
and employing procedure (a) above. When an initial
strain results from service displacements, procedure (b) can be used to approximate service constraint.
Procedure (c) simulates the loading of a bolt at
room temperature and the subsequent relaxation after elevated service temperature is reached. This
type of loading is used in measuring stress relaxation by the compliance method. [D 70] jn many bolted
flanges, multiple tightenings are employed to prevent
leakage. Design data for frequency of tightening can
be obtained for a given material from tests using
procedure (d).
The "Bauschinger effect" demonstrates that after
initiating flow in a forward direction, the flow stress
in the reverse direction is lower. Therefore, the relaxation characteristics depend on the inelastic strain
history. P^TI Reverse straining can occur from
thermal transients; this type of loading can be studied
by procedure (e). f
D
106]
The ASTM recommended practice suggests that
the preferred method of relaxation testing should be
similar to that of the intended application of the data.
Thus, bending, torsion and compression data are
identified in this compilation.
4. Analyses of Data
As indicated above, relaxation has been studied
to understand the mechanisms of flow, so that analyses can be made for other loading histories or states
of stress. The major effort has been to determine a
correlation between creep and relaxation data, so
that the contributions of the different types of strain
of Section 2 could be evaluated. The early researches

4.1 Stress relaxation at temperatures below 0.4 Tm
The stress relaxation at temperatures below about 0. 4 Tm are a result of inelastic strains which
after a time period reach a limit that is a function of
the initial stress and the temperature. These inelastic strains were described in Section 2, and are due
to micro- and macro-plasticity and anelasticity. The
initial stress or strain can be induced in structures
by fabrication loads or service thermal gradients.
An example of this relaxation limit is given in
Figure 2 for an annealed Type 304 stainless steel for
which Tm is about 800 deg. F. The remaining stress
reaches a limiting value within 100 hours for temperatures up to 600 F (315 C) and 90% of this relaxation
takes place within 24 hours. The remaining stress is
given in Figure 2 as a function of the initial stress.
This material at room temperature has significant
relaxation which decreases with the initial stress.
Little relaxation is observed for stresses below about
one-half of the yield strength for virgin monotonic
loading. At 600 F ( 315 C ) the amount of relaxation
is greater than that above for a given initial stress,
and no relaxation at stresses below one-half of the
yield strength at this temperature. In this "lower"
temperature range, sufficient stress must be applied
to initiate micro-plasticity. However, after a reversed stress above the proportional limit ( lowest curve
in Figure 2) relaxation is observed for stress levels
below one-half of the yield strength and negative relaxation ( increase in stress) may occur at low forward stresses where the anelastic strain is dominant. [R 17-19]
4.2 Stress relaxation at temperatures above 0. 4 Tm
When creep strain is the dominate inelastic strain,
stress relaxation occurs continually with time and as
a function of the stress and temperature. The majority of the data tabulated in this book are in this "higher"
temperature range, above 0.4 of the absolute melting
temperature.
For a structure which is given an initial strain,
the percent relaxation can be measured as a function
of time at a given temperature, and the data analyzed
to generate constitutive relationships for interpolation
and extrapolation. A parameter P = log t - H/(T -0.4
Tp,) gives good correlation for a cold-worked Type
304 stainless steel in the creep range. t
D7l] The percent relaxation for specimens loaded to an initial 0.07
per cent strain and tested at several temperatures is
plotted as the solid curves in Figure 3. The dashed
curves were obtained using the above parameter with
the constant H being determined by the parameter method.
4. 3 Loss of stress for a bar under constant total
strain
The relaxation of the stress in a bar under constant total strain can result from a thermal expansion, inelastic flow, and metallurgical changes. The
initial stress may be a result of an external load or
displacement, or from a residual stress due to differential plastic strains. Since the initial strain in
the bar is constant, the stress is a product of the elastic strain and the elastic modulus. This modulus
decreases with rising temperature; therefore, the
stress is reduced on heating. The initial stress under
simple tension can be as high as the flow stress for
the initial total strain.
The case for heating a bar of annealed Type 304
stainless steel with an initial stress at room temperature equal to the yield strength of 30 ksi ( 207 MPa)
is illustrated in Figure 4. The top curve in that figure is the reduction of stress due to the change of the
modulus with temperature. The yield strength curve
for a given strain rate is marked °Y. This strength is
less than that due to the modulus change, wherefore
plastic flow will occur on heating and the stress will
be reduced to a value near the yield curve. Since plastic flow is initiated, stress relaxation further reduces
the stress to "the remaining stress for an initial stress
equal to the yield strength".
Below 0.4 T this stress reaches a limit value
within 100 hours. The dashed and lowest curve indicates that if the initial stress is below this curve, no
plastic flow is initiated and no relaxation will occur.
If the temperature is increased above 0.4 Tm,
creep will continue with time and the stress will relax with time of exposure. In Figure 4 the zero-time
curve is shown as the yield strength curve; additional
curves are given for 100 and 1000 hours for temperatures up to 1300 F (704 C).
Similar curves can be generated for other materials by utilizing the data of this book. For materials
which undergo a metallurgical change with time and
temperature, the stress relaxation will be modified.
If precipitation results in a volume decrease, the remaining stress will increase for a time, whereas
volume increases ( such as irradiation swelling) will
cause an additional stress relaxation. Metallurgical
changes also influence the creep strength and this in
turn affects the rate of relaxation.
4.4 Stress relief by relaxation
The residual stress left in a structure from fabrication and processing can be detrimental in service
because of corrosion, distortion, or reduction of the
fatigue and rupture strengths.

4.4.1 Thermal treatment
The discussion in 4.3 illustrated how thermal
exposure can reduce residual stresses and showed
how the data in this book can be used to evaluate the
magnitude of the reduction. Residual stresses can
be eliminated by reheat treatment but in some cases
this is not practical. Residual stresses may result
from differential thermal expansion in dissimilar
materials.
4.4.2 Mechanical and thermo-mechanical treatment
Residual stresses are self-equilibrated and can
be reduced by imposing for a short time a monotonic
uniform stress sufficiently high to cause plastic flow
in the volumes where the peak stresses are of the
same sign.
Since initiation of plastic flow in the forward direction lowers the yield stress in the reverse direction, cyclic straining with decreasing amplitude can
be employed to reduce residual stresses. This process is similar to that for demagnitization. In roller
leveling of plates or straightening of shafts, reverse
bending with decreasing amplitude can reduce the resudual stresses and redistribute the remaining ones
over the entire cross section so that they will selfequilibrate over a short distance.
Mechanical and thermo-mechanical methods are
used to add favorable residual stresses as well as to
remove distortions or residual stresses. Surface
compressive stresses improve fatigue strength and
can be produced by shot peening, autofrettage or
surface quenching
Shafts can be straightened by local heating techniques to reduce residual stresses or to induce residual stresses which improve the straightness.
Adequate residual bolt loads are required in
bolted assemblies subjected to vibratory loads to
prevent joint opening and the associated higher alternating stress on the bolt.
5.2 Press-fitted joints, springs, and clamps
Other types of assemblies for which the success
of a design depends on the analysis of the load or
interface pressure and its relaxation under service
loads and environment are: press-fitted joints,
springs, and clamps. Uniaxial tensile relaxation
data have been used in analyses of a cylinder on a
rigid shaft [R10] and of a rolled-in tube. [R20]
5. 3 Creep-fatigue damage
The stress-time history of a component for elevated temperature service can be very complex during start-up, operation and shut-down cycles. The
damages from stress and strain histories are a
function of the strain rate, stress state, temperature
and environment. [R 9> 10,11,21,22], However, the
stress redistrubution under multiaxial stresses can
be analyzed using uniaxial relaxation data. [R 22]
The strain damage during relaxation under multiaxial stress can be more severe for some materials. [R 10]
5. 4 Constitutive relationships
Constitutive equations for a material describe
the mechanical-thermal responses of plastic flow,
creep, stress relaxation, and cyclic strain. The
material models assume that the response can be
formulated for multiaxial stress states using effective stresses and strains, and that the time independent part can be separated from the time dependent
part. Relaxation data,^ therefore, are an important
portion of the data base for a material. Comparison
of the relaxation and creep data allow the assessment
of the comparative roles of transient and steady-state
creep in design and analysis. [D26; R8 and 22 J
5. Utilization of Stress Relaxation
Data
5.1 Bolting design.
A principal use of relaxation data is in the design of bolted structures. Leakage at bolted joints
of pressure retaining structures can be prevented
by adequate load of the bolts. The required preload
and the allowance for relaxation can be calculated
from the data presented here.
When a given bolt load is required to prevent
fretting and wear of interfaces, then the allowance
for relaxation must be calculated for the service
period.
