What Does ACD Stand For?
ACD stands for Annealed Cold Drawn
ACD, or Annealed Cold Drawn, refers to a metal processing technique that combines cold drawing and annealing to enhance the mechanical properties of metal materials. During this process, metals are drawn through a die at room temperature to reduce their diameter, followed by an annealing phase that involves heating to a specific temperature and then cooling. This two-step treatment improves strength, flexibility, and fatigue resistance, making ACD materials suitable for a variety of applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing.
