How do you eliminate stress cracks?

Through correct tool geometry, machine feeds and speeds, and annealing.

IDEX Health & Science spends a considerable amount of time developing tools, fixtures and machining methods that create the least amount of thermal and mechanical stresses. And finally, we have over 20 programmable annealing ovens that we use for intermediate and final stress relieving.

Many part failures that we see from other machining houses stem from improper or non-existent material stress management.
