[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 668506, member: 1521"] You're changing the grain structure of the alloy. I've never done it but I believe this can actually be seen with etching and measure under a microscope. I call 'partial annealing to specific balance' STRESS RELIEVING, which may not be a correct term. It's just easier to understand in application. We don't want to soften our brass from baseline(full anneal), or harden, but to take it's hardness back to a specific baseline. [/QUOTE]
