The annealing process resets the crystalline structure and creates a new batch of unused slip planes, making it easy to work the part again. Annealing requires heating the alloy between 570°F to 770°F ...

Aluminium is a metal widely used in industry; therefore the more that is known about it, the more effectively it can be used. Researchers at Risø National Laboratory in Denmark and the European ...

A simple heat treatment has been shown to significantly improve the pressure sensitivity of semiconductor materials used in devices such as cell phones, sensors and energy harvesters. In a new study ...
