French term or phrase: traitement thermique de détention
This is from a document regarding Mould Specifications for the glass industry. I don't know what "détention" is referring to here.

Traitement de détention :
Sauf dérogation spéciale, tous les ébaucheurs et les finisseurs doivent subir un traitement thermique de détention.

Thank you.

From a Patent:
The pieces exiting from the forming section 21 enter an insulated chamber 32, where the ***detensioning*** operation is performed, by means of a gradual and controlled cooling from about 500°C down to ambient temperature, over a sufficiently long period; the capacity of this chamber can be optimized by means of arranging contiguously and vertically the formed pieces 40, in a special forked rack 33, intermittently activated according to the frequency of the forming process.

agree  kashew: Looks like it.

neutral  mchd: oui, c'est le terme qui s'applique à un traitement du métal, mais pourquoi l'appliquer à des ébaucheurs, des finisseurs qui sont des postes de travail ? Manque-t-il quelque chose dans la phrase d'origine ?

  -> Good point. I'd not read it like that. The work can be hot so therefore the people doing the work have to take a cold shower?
disagree  Gurudutt Kamath: Not a good guess. Way off the mark. Why would mould specifications talk about this?
12 hrs
  -> I'm puzzled as to why this is way offthe mark and yet you agree with detensioning?

agree  Gurudutt Kamath: This seems to be correct. Ébaucheurs and finisseurs are types of molds and they have to undergo the thermal detensioning.
