ANNEALING
A term typically recognized as referring to a thermal process in which the alloy or component is softened in hardness and mechanical properties by changing its microstructure to a phase softer than the previous phase. Some of the benefits of this process is to stabilize dimensional tolerances, improve machinability, change magnetic or electrical properties, and to improve the ability of the material to be subsequently cold-worked.
Full Annealing
Welcome to our comprehensive guide on the full annealing process for steel and aluminum parts. Full annealing, a principal heat-treatment procedure, significantly enhances the mechanical and structural attributes of metal workpieces. Dive deep into its technical advantages and the capabilities we offer.
Solution Annealing
Heat treatment stands as an invaluable method for optimizing the mechanical and microstructural properties of metals. At the forefront of this practice is solution annealing—a heat treatment process that ThermTech has mastered for both stainless steel and aluminum products.
Sub-Critical Annealing
Sub-critical annealing, a low temperature heat treatment, is instrumental in reducing hardness and elevating the ductility of materials. This method proves crucial in enhancing machinability, reducing the risk of cracking during cold working, and facilitating further drawing or stamping operations in machined parts and stampings.
