As of now, we've learned about a number of different heat treatment processes involving metal, including induction heating, induction hardening, and induction brazing. However, annealing is another common type of heat treatment that alters the physical and often chemical properties of a metal. Before you get started with your own project involving an induction or annealing process, it's important to know exactly how it works. Here's a quick FAQ regarding the process of annealing.
As mentioned, the annealing process causes alterations in both ductility and hardness. The process is intended to make materials more workable and malleable. With this in mind, the process is most often used to soften a metal for cold working, enhance electrical conductivity, and improve machinability. Restoring ductility is also a desired effect.
The annealing process also reduces or eliminates the risk of cracking and breakage during cold working. Cold working can cause metal to become hardened to the degree where they'll crack after a certain point, but by annealing the metals beforehand, they can undergo any amount of cold working without risk of cracking and other mechanical stress.
Ultimately, understanding the annealing process is the key to determining whether or not it may be suitable for your metalworking needs. For more information about the types of induction heating or induction equipment for sale, contact Ambrell Corporation.
