Technology comment
The annealing process involves heating cold-rolled hard stainless steel coils above the critical temperature and then slowly cooling them. This process helps eliminate internal stresses in the steel, reduce hardness, and increase ductility and toughness. Such treatment makes annealed coils easier to form during processing, especially suitable for applications requiring deep drawing or bending. The raw material for annealed coils is processed from products of short-process steelmaking.
