The end cast in concrete may be either straight orprovided with an anchor, such as a bent hook, forged head,or a tapped or welded attachment to resist forces imposed onthe anchor bolt as required.annealinggeneral term applied to a var
18、iety of thermaltreatments applied to fasteners for the purpose of softeningor homogenizing material properties. The 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,
19、and then cooling it at acontrolled rate, in a furnace, to below a specified tempera-ture. A full anneal refines grain structure and provides arelatively soft, ductile material that is free of internalstresses.intercritical annealing/isothermal annealingheating a steelabove the lower critical transfo
20、rmation temperature, butbelow the upper-critical transformation temperature, to dis-solve all the iron carbides, 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 int
21、ernal stresses. In intercriticalannealing, the steel continues to cool slowly in the furnace,similarly to full annealing. In isothermal annealing, coolingis stopped just below the lower critical, assuring completetransformation to ferrite and coarse pearlite, and eliminatingthe potential for bainite
22、 formation. The coarse pearlitestructure greatly improves machinability of medium carbonsteels.normalizingvariation 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
23、by previous working, and whileit produces sufficient softness and ductility for many pur-poses, it leaves the steel harder and with a higher tensilestrength than full annealing. To remove cooling stresses,normalizing if often followed by tempering.process annealingsometimes called subcritical anneal
24、ing orstress relieving, performed at temperatures just below thelower critical temperature. Process annealing neither refinesgrains nor redissolves cementite, but does improve theductility and decreases residual stress in work-hardenedsteel.solution annealingheating an austenitic stainless steel to
25、atemperature that puts the carbides into solution. The steel isheld at this temperature long enough to achieve graingrowth. 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
26、of subcritical annealing used tosoften steel and improve machinability. Heat treating finepearlite for a long time 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 austeniti
27、c stainless steelused in severe aqueous corrosion environments by firstsolution annealing and then reheating to about 1600F, andholding at that temperature. The treatment causes grainboundary precipitation of carbides, but also the hold timepermits the chromium remaining in the austenite solution to
