Sub-Harmonic Vibratory Stress Relief
Bonal manufactures the Meta-Lax Vibration Stress Relief Technology for the purpose of metal stress relieving. Meta-Lax is a patented stress relief process which according to the US Dept. of Energy is a “proven substitute to 80-90% of heat treat stress relief applications yet saves 65-95% of the time and cost in doing so without sacrificing quality!”

Meta-Lax - A Patentened Process
The patented Meta-Lax technology is unique in the vibratory stress relief industry in that Meta-Lax is the ONLY vsr process that produces “consistently” effective results. It also is the only vsr process that uses sub-harmonic energy and can certify that stress relieving is complete.

Sub-Harmonic Technology Product Line
1) Meta-Lax Stress Relief & Weld Conditioning:
For stress relieving and weld conditioning.
2) Pulse Puddle Arc Welding:
Specifically used for Weld Conditioning.
3) Black Magic - For Distortion Control: Controls machining distortion in parts 300 lbs. or less.



Meta-Lax Technology - During Welding
Furthermore, Meta-Lax processing can be used during welding (Weld Conditioning) to prevent
50-95% of weld distortion and cracking while improving overall quality. That will save you straightening, rework, scrap.

Who Uses Meta-Lax Technology
Meta-Lax technology is currently being relied on daily in places such as NASA, Northrop-Grumman, Boeing, US Army and Navy, General Motors, and industries as, aerospace, automotive, defense, die casting, machining, mining, mold making, power generation, racing, and welding and fabricators to name a few.

Why Meta-Lax Technology is Used
1) Reduce Distortion from Machining;
2) Reduce Delayed Machining Distortion;
3) Increase Product Service Life;
4) Reduce Weld Distortion;
5) Reduce Weld Cracking;
6) Improve Weld Quality.
