1830 S. F. Gray & A. L. Porter Chem. of Arts II. 720 After the cloth has been printed with either the aluminous or iron mordant, it is usual to hang them up exposed to the action of the air for a few days,..this process is termed..ageing.

Rev. 10 June 539/1 With good quality of steel, a proper preliminary ageing of the magnet (by heating it several times in boiling water and cooling it again, and subjecting it to somewhat varied rough usage) brings it to a condition in which its magnetism may probably remain exceedingly nearly constant month after month.
