Why annealing is done after cold working

Why annealing is done after cold working? – Importance of Stress-Relieve Annealing

Metals, Steel Literature / February 6, 2022 February 6, 2022

Annealing is usually done after cold working to reduce internal stresses caused by plastic deformation. These stresses can make the material more prone to cracking during later processing or use, and are a major cause of material failure. Annealing is the process of making something softer or more flexible by heating it to a high …

Ester Vs Ether – Major Differences

All from Polymer Literature, Polymers / July 10, 2021 November 13, 2021

Ester and ether are two common organic compounds that have some major differences. The main difference between ester and ether is the spatial arrangement of their atoms. They are formed through the esterification and etherification process respectively. Just one double bond between oxygen and adjoining carbon in their molecular structure makes them two different compounds …
