The effect of heat treatment on the relaxation properties of austenitic steels is studied with the aim to choose the treatment modes providing durability of bolts, flange connectors and other fasteners. The experimental data obtained show different intensities of stress relaxation after different modes of quenching and tempering. The most efficient and economically expedient treatment for the steels studied is suggested.
