The Theoretical Development of Simplified Annealing Schedules

JSGT 1948 V32 T032-T039

A simple annealing schedule is developed, applicable particularly to relatively small articles, using the Maxwell model of stress release, modified to take into account the variation of viscosity with time. The application of the theory is described by means of a series of charts.
