ABSTRACT:
A method of stress relief for stainless steel combustion turbine components includes vibrating the components during welding at a subharmonic frequency. The proper frequency is selected to be below a harmonic frequency, and to produce an amplitude in the range of ¼ to ½ the amplitude produced by a harmonic frequency. The component to be repaired is vibrated during and after welding at this frequency.
