Heat treatment processes involve precise heating and cooling procedures to change the physical and mechanical properties of metals. Generally, to alter undesirable properties and strengthen desirable ones. One such heat treatment process is annealing, which allows us to modify the mechanical characteristics of certain metals and alloys to better match their intended use.
