The Significance of Annealing Equipment

Heat treatment plays an important role in the industrial world. There are different types of heat treatment procedures, namely tempering, aging, quenching, and stressing. Annealing is a popular heat treatment method, commonly used by metal and glass fabricators. It is a process in which metals/alloys or glass are heated to a high temperature. The material is then cooled slowly, gradually, and in a controlled manner. Whereas in tempering, the materials are rapidly cooled with water jets. Annealing is done mainly to improve ductility and machinability. In this blog, we discuss the significance of annealing equipment.

Eastman Manufacturing Inc. Manufactures Custom Annealing Equipment

Since our founding in 1992, we have been manufacturing top-quality heat treatment equipment. We supply industrial ovens and annealing equipment to clients in Toronto, GTA, and Ontario. Decades of hard work and dedication have made us industry leaders. Drawing from our immense experience, we list below significant reasons you must invest in top-quality annealing equipment.

Relieving Internal Stresses

Internal stress poses a risk to the strength and durability of materials. You can relieve metals and glass panels of internal stresses with the help of top-quality annealing equipment. Residual internal stresses lead to cracks and distortions, significantly reducing the lifespan of materials.

Improved Ductility

Metals and alloys like copper, aluminum, and steel are annealed to improve ductility. Increased ductility allows the materials to be stretched into thin wires and cables without compromising the structural integrity.

Better Machinability

Annealing equipment makes metals, alloys, and glass soft. This allows fabricators to give them the desired shape and form. Better machinability helps fabricators achieve perfection without too much strain. It also prevents wear and tear of tools and equipment.
