Default How to relax sheet metal?

I have a piece of sheet steel that looks to be tinned, about 8x7", that is
part of a 70 year old box I'm refinishing. It has acquired some stresses,
and won't lie flat, though it will spring into several stable states, like,
boing!. How can I get it to relax, so I can rebuild the box without
stresses?
