The heat treatment processes commonly used for steel wire rod include annealing, quenching and tempering, and stress relieving. Annealing involves heating the wire rod to a specific temperature and then slowly cooling it to improve its ductility and reduce internal stresses. Quenching and tempering involves rapid cooling of the wire rod followed by reheating to enhance its strength and toughness. Stress relieving is a process that involves heating the wire rod to a moderate temperature to relieve any residual stresses that may have developed during manufacturing or previous heat treatments.
