Recommended Annealing Temperatures for Austenitic Stainless Steel Tubing

The stainless steel tubing made of austenitic stainless steels shall be annealed or bright annealed after they are cold worked. The annealing or bright annealing processes not only eliminate residual stresses and improve its ductility, but also enhance the tubing‘s corrosion resistance by dissolving the chromium carbides formed. The annealing temperature shall be cautiously controlled to ensure the complete dissolution (austenitizing) of chromium carbides and to avoid grain growth. According to many engineering experiences, recommended annealing temperatures for typical austenitic stainless steels are listed in below table.
