Abstract
Stress relaxation measurements at 773 K, in bending and for different initial stresses, in Type AISI 304 and A-286 steels are reported. Several thermomechanical treatments were given to the specimens prior to the relaxation testing. The data are interpreted in terms of a stress-partitioned power law and it is shown, for AISI 304, that, for certain thermomechanical treatments, the internal stress depends on the applied stress since the microstructure recovers during the relaxation.
