While a metal’s chemical composition determines its mechanical composition, manufacturing industries can alter its mechanical properties through heat treatment. Companies use different methods, and one of them is annealing. If you’re looking to get more information about this process, this blog will help you learn some of the essential things to know about annealing. What […]
If you’re in the process of developing metal products, parts or components, it’s important to understand as much as possible about a variety of metal treatment processes, including annealing and quenching. If you’re unsure about some of the specifics of how these processes work or which applications they are most suitable for, it’s a good […]
Heat treatments are designed to improve the strength, flexibility, durability and hardness of metal products without actually changing their shape. Annealing is an umbrella term for one type of this heat treatment, which reduces hardness, relieves internal stresses and improves ductility. What is annealing? The process of annealing uses thermodynamics to achieve its goals. By […]
Annealing is a type of heat treatment in which an alloy gets heated up and held at a particular temperature, then gets cooled down in a controlled manner. The process allows for internal stresses in the alloy to be relieved, softens the material and creates a chemical homogenization and transformation of the grain structure of […]
Annealing is the process of heating metal or glass and allowing it to cool slowly. This helps remove internal stresses on the metal and can strengthen it considerably. Annealing is usually performed after a hardening or cold working process, and can increase the ductility while reducing the material’s hardness. Annealed metals are used in a […]
