Question:

Will the annealed stainless steel become soft?

Will the annealed stainless steel become soft?

Answer:

[stainless steel wire annealing] is a kind of stainless steel wire heat treatment process, refers to the stainless steel wire slowly heating to a certain temperature, keep enough time, and then with appropriate speed cooling. The purpose is to reduce hardness, improve machinability, eliminate residual stress, stabilize size, reduce deformation and crack tendency, refine grain, adjust microstructure and eliminate tissue defects.
The stainless steel hard silk by bright annealing treatment, that is, usually said "hydrogen retreat", forming a low hardness, hand can bend stainless steel wire, is called soft silk.
[stainless steel wire annealing will become soft] the main purpose of annealing is to reduce hardness, stainless steel wire annealing will become soft. There are many kinds of stainless steel wire, generally divided into two kinds of hard silk and soft silk.
