Heat Treatment: Heat treatment and thermomechanical processing are widely used to mitigate the Bauschinger effect by relieving residual stresses and dislocation structures within the material. Stress relief annealing is a common approach, where the material is heated to a specific temperature and held for a certain duration, allowing dislocations to rearrange and internal stresses to dissipate. This process reduces the Bauschinger effect by minimizing internal stress fields and achieving a more uniform distribution of dislocations.
