text: Annealing is an umbrella term used in heat treating to refer to the process of raising the temperature and controlled cooling of a material to make it more ductile, reduce its hardness and generally make it more amenable to machining and other manufacturing processes.
text: Annealing is a heat treatment process for glass and soft metals that reduces hardness, increases ductility and helps eliminate internal stresses.
text: However, it also decreases hardness.
text: Annealing can reduce the hardness.
text: Tempering reduces the hardness in the martensite by transforming it into various forms of tempered martensite.
text: Tempering can further decrease the hardness, increasing the ductility to a point more like annealed steel.
text: Annealing is a heat treatment process that is used to alter the chemical or physical properties of a metal to make it more ductile and reduce its hardness.
