What is bright solution annealing?

Bright solution annealing is a heat treatment process (without oxygen) used to alter the mechanical and physical properties of metals to reduce hardness, increase ductility, and eliminate internal stresses.

It also reduces the risk of corrosion, material fracture, cracking and distortion.


Why is bright solution annealing such an added-value for your refractory anchors?

If annealed - your anchors will last much longer!

The removal of stress within the material means low corrosion rates and lower embrittlement of the material. It also means that any impurities in the grain level of metal will get dissolved with this treatment.

We can add value to every alloy, guaranteed!
