T
18、he specific types ofannealing are:full annealingheating steel above the upper critical transfor-mation temperature, holding it there long enough to fullytransform the steel to austenite, and then cooling it at acontrolled rate, in a furnace, to below a specified tempera-ture. A full anneal refines g
19、rain structure and provides arelatively soft, ductile material that is free of internalstresses.intercritical annealing/isothermal annealingheating a steelabove the lower critical transformation temperature, butbelow the upper-critical transformation temperature, to dis-solve all the iron carbides,
20、but not transform all the ferrite toaustenite. Cooling slowly from this temperature, through thelower critical temperature, produces a structure of ferrite andpearlite that is free of internal stresses. In intercriticalannealing, the steel continues to cool slowly in the furnace,similarly to full an
21、nealing. In isothermal annealing, coolingis stopped just below the lower critical, assuring completetransformation to ferrite and coarse pearlite, and eliminatingthe potential for bainite formation. The coarse pearlitestructure greatly improves machinability of medium carbonsteels.normalizingvariati
22、on of full annealing in which steel isheated above the upper critical temperature and is then aircooled in air, rather than in a furnace. Normalizing relievesthe internal stresses caused by previous working, and whileit produces sufficient softness and ductility for many pur-poses, it leaves the ste
23、el harder and with a higher tensilestrength than full annealing. To remove cooling stresses,normalizing if often followed by tempering.process annealingsometimes called subcritical annealing orstress relieving, performed at temperatures just below thelower critical temperature. Process annealing nei
24、ther refinesgrains nor redissolves cementite, but does improve theductility and decreases residual stress in work-hardenedsteel.solution annealingheating an austenitic stainless steel to atemperature that puts the carbides into solution. The steel isheld at this temperature long enough to achieve gr
25、aingrowth. It is then quenched in a medium for fast cooling,which prevents most of the carbides from reprecipitating.The process achieves optimum creep strength.spheroidize annealingtype of subcritical annealing used tosoften steel and improve machinability. Heat treating finepearlite for a long tim
26、e just below the lower criticaltemperature of the steel, followed by a very slow cooling,produces a spheroidal or globular form of the pearlite.stabilization annealingheating an austenitic stainless steelused in severe aqueous corrosion environments by firstsolution annealing and then reheating to a
27、bout 1600F, andholding at that temperature. The treatment causes grainboundary precipitation of carbides, but also the hold timepermits the chromium remaining in the austenite solution toredistribute within the grains, restoring corrosion resistance,even adjacent to the grain boundaries.applicable s

29、bly lot may consist of a combination ofdifferent products. As long as the products that make up theassembly are in accordance with lot, the quantity of assem-blies determine the sample size. Example: ten assembliesconsisting of a bolt, nut, and a washer would have a lot sizeof ten if the bolts, nuts
30、, and washers meet the criteria of lot.However, if any of the components in the assembly are notin accordance with lot then the ten assemblies will have to beseparated into lots that meet all the requirements of lot.austenitic stainless alloyssteel alloys that contain a mini-mum of 15 % chromium and
31、 from a residual to 20 % nickel.Some alloys may contain as much as 18 % manganese. Themetal is predominantly face centered cubic in structure andhardenable only by cold working. Essentially nonmagneticin its wire form, it may become slightly magnetic from coldworking.Austenitic stainless steels can
