Benefits & Differences

Stretch leveling has many benefits & differences over other types of leveling processes:

  • Stresses are equalized to eliminate spring back
  • Mechanical properties of the material are not affected
  • Not limited to by incoming shape or amount of shape correction it can provide
  • Potential for surface damage with other forms of leveling
  • Limited thickness range via other methods of processing.
