Steel Strip is annealed to:-
Soften the strip for improved forming and workability
To remove stresses induced during cold rolling, or uneven cooling
To remove coarse grain
Almost all cold rolled steel strip will have undergone the annealing process, normally prior to a final "skin pass", a final light reduction.
Annealing is basically a heat [...]

Spring steels are supplied either hardened or tempered or annealed to allow component manufacture prior to the hardening process.
The optimum combination of hardness, strength and toughness is developed throughout the cross section of an engineering product made from steel, by means of hardening and tempering. This treatment consists of heating the work-piece to an appropriate [...]
Spring steels are supplied either hardened or tempered or annealed to allow component manufacture prior to the hardening process.
The optimum combination of hardness, strength and toughness is developed throughout the cross section of an engineering product made from steel, by means of hardening and tempering. This treatment consists of heating the work-piece to an appropriate hardening temperature, which is dependant upon the particular steel analysis involved, holding for sufficient time to ensure the whole work-piece is at temperature and then rapidly cooling ...
