Annealing
The term annealing refers to the treatment of a workpiece at a given temperature for a given time period, with the subsequent cooling adapted to achieve the required material properties.
- The major annealing processes are as follows
- Stress-relief annealing
- Soft annealing
- Spheroidized annealing
- Diffusion annealing
- Isothermal annealing
- Full annealing
- Recrystallization annealing
- Solution annealing
