Not unless you are going for the absolutely lowest thermal expansion possible.
Most Invar pipe is used in the as welded condition.

There is an excellent book by my good friend James Kelly,I would recommend you buy a copy

Heat Resistant Alloys by James Kelly : ISBN 978-0-9801065-2-7.

Happy reading.

 
Although the presence of stresses causes very slight changes in dimensional stability with respect to time and temperature, a stress relief thermal treatments are at times necessary to promote structure uniformity and dimensional stability.
