← Back to context Comment by DoctorOetker 2 days ago Is there a reason they don't just anneal the slabs to remove the internal stresses? 2 comments DoctorOetker Reply dan353hehe 2 days ago That tension between the skin and the center are probably what give it strength. Annealing it would make it less prone to shatter so violently, but would also make it break easier.Check out prince rupert drops for another example of this. DoctorOetker 2 days ago I think it would gain toughness, but lose hardness by annealing.
