Abstract: This paper presents studies and tests carried out on residual stress states of mechanical components. The principal aim of the work is the optimization of heat-treatment parameters in order to reduce residual stresses and consequent geometrical instability of components.

Keywords: residual stress; stress analysis; mechanical components; optimisation; heat treatment; materials technology.
