Bright Annealing Stainless Steel Services
Bright Annealing Stainless Steel & Metal Services
Applied Thermal Technologies provides precision bright annealing services for stainless steel and other high-performance alloys. Using advanced vacuum furnace technology, our processes deliver oxidation-free, scale-free finishes and consistent metallurgical results for aerospace, medical, and industrial applications.
Annealing is an integral part of making materials as soft as possible, increase ductility, and less brittle. The bright annealing stainless steel and metal process reduces the hardness and makes the material easier to machine and can be used on stainless steel, cobalt, chrome, high-temperature alloys, and titanium.
What Is Bright Annealing?
Bright annealing is a vacuum furnace process that heats stainless steel and other alloys to a controlled temperature in a high-vacuum environment. By eliminating exposure to oxygen during heating and cooling, it preserves a bright surface free of oxidation and scale which is critical for applications needing high surface integrity and minimal post-processing.
Benefits of Bright Annealing
- Oxidation-free, scale-free surfaces
- No post-cleaning required
- Improved ductility and stress relief
- Precise control of metallurgical properties
- Repeatable results for high-spec components
Materials We Bright Anneal
- Stainless steels (300 & 400 series)
- Nickel alloys (Inconel®, Hastelloy®)
- Titanium alloys
- Tool steels
- Specialty high-temp alloys
Our Bright annealing process is just one of the heat treating capabilities of Applied Thermal Technologies Inc. We also have the equipment to do brazing, tempering, and hardening.
