4. Annealing Following the cold rolling process, the steel strips may require annealing. This heat treatment process relieves internal stresses that develop during cold rolling, restoring ductility and reducing hardness. The annealing process can be performed in a continuous furnace where the steel strip is heated and then gradually cooled.
4. Cutting Mechanism After straightening, many machines include a cutting mechanism that trims the bars to required lengths. This functionality helps in reducing additional handling and processing steps, making the workflow more efficient.
