Anyone aware of the processes of heat treating metals, such as stainless steel, has heard of annealing. This process is frequently used in order to increase the ductility and decrease the brittleness of metals. In addition, annealing lessens internal stresses, which means that the inclination of certain metals to crack or distort is decreased. One of the most popular types of this process is bright annealing.
