Annealing process

Annealing is a heat treatment process used to improve the properties of metals or glass. It involves heating the material to a specific temperature, allowing its internal structure to relax and evenly distribute stresses. Then, it is slowly cooled down. This process makes the material softer, more ductile, and less likely to break, increasing its workability and stability. Think of it as gently "retraining" the material so it becomes more adaptable and easier to shape or work with, while reducing internal flaws or stresses that could cause issues later.
