4. (5 pts) Describe the influence of annealing on the strength a common alloy. and ductility in

Annealing is the process of heating of steel to austenite temperature and then slowly in the furnace.

Slow cooling results in the formation of spheroidal carbide and coarse lamellar pearlite. These products are very soft. Ductility is restored and can be increased. Hardness will be decreased.
