Annealing is a metal treatment where parts are heated and maintained for a certain time above their recrystallization temperature. This has the effect of increasing part ductility and allowing for easier workability. Annealing also prepares the steel for further heat treatment.

BENEFITS

  • Improves ductility
  • Reduces brittleness
  • Improves homogeneity in the steel
  • Refines the grain structure
