In
blacksmithing, annealing is a heat treatment process used to soften metal and improve its ductility. It involves heating the metal to a specific temperature and then slowly cooling it down. Annealing helps relieve internal stresses and promotes grain growth, making the metal easier to work with. The tools used for annealing vary depending on the specific metal being treated, but they generally include a heat source, such as a forge or furnace, and tongs or other holding tools to manipulate the metal during the process.
Here is a list of tools used to perform annealing:
