Annealing (Anthromorphemics)

In copper and bronze metallurgy, this refers to the process of heating and then cooling the material to remove stress from hammering.

Annealing (Anthropology)

In copper and bronze metallurgy, this refers to the process of heating and then cooling the material to remove stress from hammering.

Annealing (Coin Collecting)

The heating (and cooling) of a die or planchet to soften the metal before preparation of the die or striking of the coin.

Annealing (Corrosion)

A generic term denoting a treatment. consisting of heating to and holding at a suitable temperature, followed by cooling at a suitable rate, used primarily to soften metallic materials, but also to simultaneously produce desired changes in other properties or in microstructure. The purpose of' such changes may be. but is not confined to. improvement of machinability, facilitation of cold work, improvement of mechanical or electrical properties, and/or increase in stability of dimensions. When the term is used by itself, full annealing is implied. When applied only for the relief of stress, the process is properly called stress relieving or stress-relief annealing

Annealing (Glass)

Process by which a hot glass item is (after completion) uniformly re-heated and then gradually cooled down over many hours in the Lehr, in order to toughen it and make it less likely to crack when subjected to changes of temperature

Annealing (Import Cars)

A heat-treatment process to reduce hardness or brittleness, relieve stresses, improve machinability, facilitate cold working, or produce a desired microstructure or property.

Annealing (Knife)

The process of heating steels to add characteristics that make them cutting edged tools.

Annealing (Metal)

Heating to and holding a suitable temperature and then cooling at a suitable rate, for such purposes as reducing hardness, improving machinability, facilitating cold working, producing a desired microstructure, or obtaining desired mechanical, physical, or other properties. When applicable, the following more specific terms should be used: black annealing, blue annealing, box annealing, bright annealing, flame annealing, graphitizing, intermediate annealing, isothermal annealing, malleablizing, process annealing, quench annealing, recrystallization annealing and spheroidizing. When applied to ferrous alloys, the term "annealing", without qualification, implies full annealing. When applied to nonferrous alloys, the term "annealing" implies a heat treatment designed to soften a cold worked structure by recrystallization or subsequent grain growth or to soften an age-hardened alloy by causing a nearly complete precipitation of the second phase in relatively coarse form. Any process of annealing will usually reduce stresses, but if the treatment is applied for the sole purpose of such relief, it should be designated stress relieving.

Annealing (Microbiology)

The process of formation of double-stranded DNA from single-stranded DNA; compare with hybridization.

Annealing (Natural Gas)

A process involving controlled heating and subsequent controlled, generally slow, cooling applied usually to induce ductility in metals. The term also is used to cover treatments intended to remove internal stresses, alter mechanical or physical properties, produce a definite microstructure, and remove gases.

Annealing (Plumbing)

A softening treatment consisting of heating carbon or alloy steel to an appropriate temperature, holding at the temperature for a proper period of time and slowly cooling to room temperature.

Annealing (Roofing)

In the manufacturing of float glass, it is the process of controlled cooling done in a lehr to prevent residual stresses in the glass. Re-annealing is the process of removing objectionable stresses in glass by re-heating to a suitable temperature followed by controlled cooling.

Annealing (Steel)

A process involving high-temperature heating and cooling of the as-rolled cold rolled steel substrate to make it softer and more formable.

Annealing (Wind Energy)

A heat treatment process that makes Cold-rolled steel more suitable for forming and bending.
