Science 101: What You Need to Know about Annealing Brass
The science behind annealing brass during the manufacturing of cartridge brass is well-established and very precise. By heating the brass to 750 Deg. F. quickly and removing it from the heat source to cool, it becomes more ductile and less brittle. This process is annealing and when properly done will extend cartridge brass life and […]
Metallurgists’ Tips: The Science of Annealing Brass
What Is Annealing Brass? In simple terms, it’s properly heating metal to a prescribed temperature then cooling to restore desired malleability To harden brass, it must be WORKED to increase its hardness such as bend and re-bend, repeatedly hammer, draw and form which are all methods of WORKING brass. Regarding cartridge brass it is work […]
