Meta-Lax® Is The World’s Most Consistent Vibratory Stress Relief For Metal Structures

The patented sub-harmonic Meta-Lax process is the only vibratory stress relief process that is consistently effective in comparison to heat stress relief. In fact, Meta-Lax tools and technology consistently achieve equal to or better results than heat stress relief. In short, Meta-Lax technology and processes work and are reliable!

The SUB-harmonic energy level is the key to the tremendous success of the Meta-Lax vibratory stress relief process. In addition to metal stress relieving, the patented Meta-Lax vibrations can be used during welding to prevent distortion, cracking and weld defects, as well as for welding faster.

THE MOST ADVANCED STRESS RELIEF ON THE PLANET

Meta-Lax® for Stress Relief

Meta-Lax is the world’s most consistent vibratory stress relief for metal structures. The patented sub-harmonic Meta-Lax technology provides the only vibratory stress relief process that is consistently effective in comparison to heat stress relief. In fact, Meta-Lax vibratory stress relief consistently achieves equal to or better results than heat stress relief. In short, Meta-Lax works and is reliable!

The SUB-harmonic energy level provided by our patented technology is the key to the tremendous success of the Meta-Lax vibratory stress relief process.

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® Stress Relief Applications
 

Meta-Lax® for Weld Conditioning

Meta-Lax Weld Conditioning will relieve the thermal stresses as they are being introduced during weld solidification. This procedure produces several desirable benefits for the weld metal and the heat affected zone including eliminating the need for post-weld stress relief.

Two major benefits are the minimizing, if not totally eliminating, weld cracking and weld distortion. Other benefits include welding faster by increasing amperage which also allows deeper weld penetration. Metallurgically, Meta-Lax Weld Conditioning produces a finer, more uniform weld grain structure, thus improving the weld's mechanical properties and ultimate fatigue life.

Weld ductility, in particular, is increased as much as 400% over a non-weld-conditioned weld!

Meta-Lax Technology Succeeds Where Others Fail
Perfect Welds
After several attempts at welding HY-90 “T” bar Bonal’s Meta-Lax technology was called on and the “T” bar was welded perfectly the first time. Lyman Martin
North American Shipbuilding
Tight Tolerances
We’re always working with very tight tolerances, if there was any sacrifices in quality we’d know it. But our results with Meta-Lax have been just excellent. Gary Aalbers
Aalbers Tool & Mold
Increased Life
Using the Meta-Lax process on crankshafts increases their life from a 10 race average to 30 races! Gordon Jennings
Paul Pfaff Enterprises
Quality Control
Every weldment is now either Meta-Lax weld conditioned or stress relieved in-house for quality assurance. Jim Amos
Detroit Tool
Consistent Results
Meta-Lax has been very beneficial to NASA and isused frequently. Gerald Miller
NASA Langley Research Center
Saves Money
The results were astounding. We saw our scrap rate go from 50% to 0 and stay there. Tim O’Connor

If NASA Trusts Us, You Should Too

"It may be reassuring to know that Meta-Lax treated parts have gone to the moon, gone to Mars and are in the International Space Station. Closer to home, other Meta-Lax treated parts have shot down enemy missiles, beats in people’s chest, won the Indianapolis 500 and lock river water in place. Be assured, big or small, your parts are valuable to Bonal."
