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
The Horizontal Vacuum Furnace and Vertical Vacuum Furnace series deliver superior performance for annealing applications requiring more malleability and ductility.
