6.3.3 Stress relieving wires
When spring hard wires are bent, stresses are created in their crystalline structure. The bent wire
element can be stress relieved using a suitable heat treatment process. This is done by heating the
wire to approx. 550 °C / 1022 °F over a short period of time. Heat color, dark red.
Remember that stress relieving wire elements on the model takes longer as the plaster absorbs
a considerable amount of heat. Refer to 6.3.4 for the subsequent procedure.
6.3.4 Procedure for soft annealing, tempering and stress relieving
Important!
1. Turn the upper electrode head on the "click-stop" holder one half turn (45°) to left or right.
!
The upper and lower electrodes must not touch each other.
Should they touch each other, a fault signal is given.
2. Fit the hand electrodes into outlet and and clamp the notched electrodes
REF 081-501-00 into the clamping sleeves.
3. Connect the foot switch to outlet .
4. Turn power switch to position "I".
5. Press pad . The figure last set (e. g. 50) now appears in the LCD display.
6. Set pad or for continuous heat control to a low figure, e. g. 0 -> 05. Increase it depending
on the material's cross section. Carry out tests!
7. Set the notched electrode tips in the area of the wire to be heat treated.
