A process in which the material is held near its slow-cooling point and slowly cooled to relieve internal stresses. This is essential for preventing cracks. / Note: The time required is proportional to the square of the thickness.

Annealing is a process in which a material is held near its annealing point and then slowly cooled to eliminate internal stresses. It is essential for preventing cracks, and allowing sufficient time ensures that residual stresses are effectively eliminated.
The time required increases in proportion to the square of the work's thickness.
