- ANNEALING -

ANNEALING

Annealing is a metal treatment whereby 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

Vacuum Heat Treating System

The HVF and VVF systems from G-M Enterprises deliver superior performance for annealing applications requiring more malleability and ductility.

UPC upgrades 

The UPC control solution is a modular package customized to improve your annealing, bright annealing, and normalizing furnace. Ideal for new or retrofit installations, this solution meets industry standard requirements and provides precise and reliable process control for greater savings and improved product quality.

 

Annealing is used across a variety of industries including aerospace, automotive, industrial, and the energy sector and for applications where the material is made more ductile, allowing for additional processing. Parts can be annealed in a vacuum or reducing atmosphere where a bright surface finish is needed.

Steels and other metals such as copper, aluminum, and brass benefit from annealing.
