Wrought Copper Alloy Recrystallization Temperature

The thermal threshold at which a strain-free new microstructure forms after cold working, devoid of deformation relics, controlling the sequence of intermediate anneals.

After cold forming, the copper is hard and stressed. Targeted heating rebuilds the structure, relieves the stresses, and the material becomes soft and easy to work again. If you get it too hot or stay on it too long, the grain gets coarse and the material becomes brittle. Better keep an eye on the temperature and don't go beyond what's necessary, or you'll quickly have trouble with cracks or wear.
