The following points highlight the seven main types of annealing of steels.They are: 1. Full Annealing 2. Homogenising (Diffusion) Annealing 3. Process Annealing 4. Spheroidisation Annealing 5. Partial Annealing 6. Bright Annealing 7. Stress-Relieving Annealing. Type # 1. Full Annealing: Full annealing, or annealing consists of heating the steel to a temperature above its upper critical temperature, soaking there for [...]
