Quá khứ: annealedPhân từ 2: annealedV-ing: annealing

This term is primarily a technical descriptor used in metallurgy, glassmaking, and semiconductor physics. It describes a specific thermal process designed to relieve internal tension and increase ductility, preventing the material from shattering or cracking under stress.

In a professional or industrial context, the word carries a connotation of precision and controlled cooling. It is rarely used in casual conversation unless referring to specialized craftsmanship or high-tech manufacturing, as it describes a very specific physical transformation of a material's crystalline or molecular structure.

Ý nghĩa

Ngoại động từanneal
[~ something]

To heat a material, such as glass or metal, and allow it to cool slowly in order to remove internal stresses and make it less brittle.

The glassblower must anneal the vase to prevent it from cracking as it cools.

Ngoại động từanneal
[~ something]

To heat a semiconductor wafer or a thin film to improve its crystalline structure or to activate dopants.

The silicon wafer was annealed at high temperatures to ensure optimal electrical conductivity.

Nội động từanneal

To undergo the process of heating and slow cooling to improve material properties.

The steel must anneal slowly to achieve the desired level of ductility.
