Abstract
The effect of precipitation on residual stress in round cold drawn copper beryllium rods was investigated to minimize part distortion and to control mechanical properties. Aging temperature, aging time, residual stress level, and machinabi1ity were considered to optimize the stress relieving process. A boring-out technique (Sachs), improved with the use of a traveled wire electrical discharge machine and a computer controlled data acquisition system, was used to determine residual stresses. Metrology results confirmed the success of the stress relieving process.
