Annealing

Annealing is a process typically used to soften metal to ease in machining or forming. We offer a wide selection of annealing processes and equipment. Whether you are just trying to anneal for machinability or you need a full atmospheric anneal we have the equipment.

HTC Steel's process for annealing steel takes place in two unique stages. First, the metal is softened through the removal of crystal defects that cause internal stresses. Second comes the nucleation and growth of strain-free grains. This process is completed under very precise conditions.
