Can the stainless steel be annealed?
The main functions of stainless steel annealing are: 1. To eliminate the internal defects of the tissue; 2, refine the microstructure, reduce the surface hardness of the material, facilitate the subsequent processing, and reduce the cold hardening effect of the stainless steel after processing
To evaluate whether methods commonly used is stainless steel annealing test for surface hardness, such as the 2B 304 of the surface of the annealed hardness is about HV205, and annealing state of hardness is generally around HV270. If the 304 surface hardness is too high, will cause processing difficulties (especially rolling processing) and plate problems, affecting the forming properties of products
