annealing
This term embraces all heat treatment methods that are based on raising the temperature of a workpiece to a certain level (annealing temperature), holding it at that temperature for a certain length of time (short or long) followed by slow cooling. We distinguish between full, partial, recovery, recrystallisation and diffusion annealing, also inter- and self-annealing.
