  2. Annealing (materials science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annealing_(materials_science)

    It involves heating a material above its recrystallization temperature, maintaining a suitable temperature for an appropriate amount of time and then cooling. In annealing, atoms migrate in the crystal lattice and the number of dislocations decreases, leading to a change in ductility and hardness. As the material cools it recrystallizes.

  3. Recrystallization (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recrystallization_(metallurgy)

    Critical temperature. Following from the previous rule it is found that recrystallization requires a minimum temperature for the necessary atomic mechanisms to occur. This recrystallization temperature decreases with annealing time. Critical deformation. The prior deformation applied to the material must be adequate to provide nuclei and ...

  4. Annealing by short circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annealing_by_short_circuit

    Annealing by short circuit is a method of efficiently annealing copper wire which employs a controlled electrical short circuit. It can be advantageous because it does not require a temperature -regulated furnace like other methods of annealing.

  5. Copper foil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_foil

    High-Temperature Rolled Annealed (HTRA) Copper Foil; High-Temperature Rolled Annealed copper foil is similar to RA copper foil but undergoes additional heat treatment to enhance its resistance to high temperatures. This type of copper foil is used in applications that involve exposure to elevated temperatures. Ultra-Thin Copper Foil

  6. Cold working - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_working

    In metallurgy, cold forming or cold working is any metalworking process in which metal is shaped below its recrystallization temperature, usually at the ambient temperature.. Such processes are contrasted with hot working techniques like hot rolling, forging, welding, etc. [1]: p.375 The same or similar terms are used in glassmaking for the equivalents; for example cut glass is made by "cold ...

  7. Hollomon–Jaffe parameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollomon–Jaffe_parameter

    The Hollomon–Jaffe parameter (HP), also generally known as the Larson–Miller parameter, [1] describes the effect of a heat treatment at a temperature for a certain time. [2] This parameter is especially used to describe the tempering of steels, so that it is also called tempering parameter.

  8. Grain growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_growth

    Grain growth has long been studied primarily by the examination of sectioned, polished and etched samples under the optical microscope.Although such methods enabled the collection of a great deal of empirical evidence, particularly with regard to factors such as temperature or composition, the lack of crystallographic information limited the development of an understanding of the fundamental ...

  9. Copper tubing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_tubing

    While pipe sizes in Australia are inch-based, they are classified by outside rather than inside diameter (e.g., a nominal 3 ⁄ 4 inch copper pipe in Australia has measured diameters of 0.750 inches outside and 0.638 inches inside, whereas a nominal 3 ⁄ 4 inch copper pipe in the U.S. and Canada has measured diameters of 0.875 inch outside and ...
