Concept:

Full annealing:

  • Full annealing is a heat treatment process applied mainly to steels to soften the material, improve ductility, and relieve internal stresses.

Steps in Full Annealing:

  1. The metal is heated to a temperature above its upper critical point.
  2. It is held at that temperature for a specific time to allow transformation.
  3. It is then slowly cooled inside the furnace to room temperature.

Cooling Method:

  • Slow cooling inside a furnace ensures uniform and gradual cooling, allowing the structure to reform into a soft and ductile state.
