Tempering

Annealing is an important heat treatment process used in materials science to optimise the service properties of plastic semi-finished products, blanks or finished parts. This process not only improves the physical properties of the material but also strengthens its structural integrity.

During the annealing process, mechanical stresses in the workpiece are specifically controlled and homogenised. This helps to reduce potential weak points in the material and to increase strength and durability. In addition, the crystallinity of the plastic is increased, which leads to an improved structure and greater resistance to mechanical stress.

By precisely controlling the temperature and time profile during the process, a tailored adjustment of the material properties can be achieved in order to meet the specific requirements of various applications. Overall, annealing plays a decisive role in the production of high-quality plastic products that are intended to offer optimum performance and reliability.
