**Author**: Unknown. Donated by David Sterling and Wray Buntine \N\N**Source**: [UCI](https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Annealing) - 1990 \N\N**Please cite**: [UCI](https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/citation_policy.html) \N\N\N\NThe original Annealing dataset from UCI. The exact meaning of the features and classes is largely unknown. Annealing, in metallurgy and materials science, is a heat treatment that alters the physical and sometimes chemical properties of a material to increase its ductility and reduce its hardness, making it more workable. It involves heating a material to above its recrystallization temperature, maintaining a suitable temperature, and then cooling.
