Process Annealing.
Low carbon steels may
harden through cold
working. They can be
heated to around 100
degrees below lower
critical temp., soaked
and allowed to cool in
air.
Spheroidising. High
carbon steels may be
annealed just below the
lower critical temp. to
improve machinability.

Pyrometry
The measurement and control of temperature
in a furnace is called pyrometry.
Seger cones
A traditional method of
gauging furnace
temperature.
Cones with known
melting temperatures
are placed in the
furnace, temperature is
identified as cones
collapse.
Optical pyrometer
Also known as
disappearing filament.
The light intensity of a
lamp, which can be
adjusted, is compared
to the light from a
furnace.
Temperature is
measured when the
filament seems to
disappear in the glow
from the furnace.
