Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) | | German term or phrase: Eigenspannungsabbau | Eigenspannungsabbau.
Sorry, no more context available and it's not in Ernst. Any one have any ideas? Thanks in advance. |

| | English translation:reduction of internal (residual) stress | Explanation:
This is one possibility, if we are talking about mechanical stresses - which I assume to be the case since you gave general engineering as the context. But if we're talking about electrical voltages, then Eigenspannung would be "natural voltage".
This is what Ernst says on Eigenspannung:
Eigenspannung f (Mech) / internal o. residual stress
Eigenspannung f (Elek) / natural voltage
Eigenspannungen f pl, innere Spannungen (Mech) / internal stresses, residual stresses
Abbau m der Eigenspannungen, Nachrichten n (eines Drahts) / dressing
(All the above were found in Ernst)
Siemens, FWB industrielle Elektrotechnik, pretty much confirms:
Eigenspannung f (el.)
natural voltage
Eigenspannung f (mech.)
internal stress
Eigenspannung f (nach dem Schweißen)
residual stress, locked-up stress
Abbau could also be degradation or breakdown, depending on context - and I'm sure there's *some* context available - for instance, what type of document does the term appear in, target audience and much more...
But maybe the above will help you get on the right track. HTH. |
