In materials science and engineering, the yield point is the point on a stress–strain curve that indicates the limit of elastic behavior and the beginning of plastic behavior. Below the yield point, a
A steel beam being tested for yield strength. The beam is whitewashed to show the development of yield lines.
In metallurgy and materials science, annealing is a heat treatment that alters the physical and sometimes chemical properties of a material to increase its ductility and reduce its hardness, making it
Annealing a silver strip
Workers annealing brass cartridge casings during World War I. The casings are placed onto revolving machines which pass them through a flame at the back, which relieves residual stress in the brass and prevents season cracking.
