Many cases are annealed multiple times during drawing and forming.

They all start as disks of brass that are on the soft side.

All the drawing and forming steps work harden brass enough that annealing during manufacture can be required between draw-form steps.

Steps are taken to preserve things like the hardness of the case head.
