Annealing is a term used to denote any heat treatment in which the microstructrure and therefore the properties of a material are altered. Annealing typically refers to heat treatment in which a cold-worked metal is softened by allowing it to recrystallize.

It is the pairing of the complementary single strands of DNA to form a double helix.

A process involving controlled heating and subsequent controlled, generally slow, cooling applied usually to induce ductility in metals. The term also is used to cover treatments intended to remove internal stresses, alter mechanical or physical properties, produce a definite microstructure, and remove gases.

A process which is usually carried out in a controlled furnace atmosphere so that metal surface oxidation is eliminated or reduced to a minimum, and the surface remains relatively bright.

Heating to and holding at a suitable temperature, followed by cooling at a suitable rate to lower the hardness or alter other mechanical or physical properties.

In the manufacturing of float glass, it is the process of controlled cooling done in a lehr to prevent residual stresses in the glass. Re-annealing is the process of removing objectionable stresses in glass by re-heating to a suitable temperature followed by controlled cooling.

Under natural conditions, the surface of molten glass will cool more rapidly than the centre. This results in internal stresses which may cause the glass sheet or object to crack, shatter or even explode some time later.

(French : annelage) Hybridization of a synthetic oligonucleotide to a single strand nucleic acid. It is how a specific nucleotide sequence can be identified.

A process of heat treatment for restoring the ductility of metals work-hardened by semi-fabrication.

A thermal process in which a physical transformation (as opposed to a chemical reaction) of a material is induced by the application of thermal energy. An example is the transformation of the compound titanium silicide from the higher resistance C49 phase to the lower resistance C54 phase of this compound.
