What is annealing?
The primary purpose of an annealing treatment is to reduce the hardness of a material and facilitate the progress of subsequent manufacturing operations.
Annealing is commonly used after casting, forging or rolling to soften materials and minimise residual stresses, improving machine-ability.
Annealing capacity
We operate an Ipsen sealed quench furnace which allows to anneal loads under atmosphere, making them more suitable for processing.
