[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1071492, member: 10755"] Sorry to burst your bubble, but over annealing is real, the grain structure of the metal moves from being salvageable to ruined, as you call it, and yes, the clour and lack of shininess are a dead giveaway in BRASS. Once past a golden honey colour, the grains have moved so far apart 5hat they will never be able to re-set in parallel structure. 680ºF for 6-8 seconds is optimum, once brass has been heated above 880ºF, even for a second, it is ruined and will NEVER RETURN to the correct grain structure even after being worked. lightbulb [/QUOTE]
