Steel and Cast Iron Annealing

Annealing is defined as "heating to and holding at a specific temperature for a specified period of time followed by specified controlled cooling and holding at intervals to soften metallic materials." The annealing completed by American Steal Treating can also alter base material properties and microstructures. 

Annealing is a generic term that is not always qualified by the customer. If left to the discretion of the heat treater, full annealing is implied. We have two continuous annealing stations at our world-class steel treatment plant, each with high production capacities.
