(c) Heat treatment.<br />

Many alloys can be hardened by heat treatment, which introduces stress in<br />

the lattice and so reduces the conductivity. On the other hand, annealing<br />

processes, which generally consist of heating followed by very slow cooling,<br />

relieve stresses in the crystal lattice, and so reduce the hardness of the metal<br />

to a minimum and increase the conductivity to a maximum.<br />
