[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 365116, member: 1521"] Thread starter annealed his brass all right. Problem is, annealed brass is ruined. What is desired, is stress relieving. This is way lower in temp, and for enough time that the metal reaches the correct temperature -throughout it's thickness. What many people do is put a couple thousand degrees to the outside of brass, hoping to CONSISTENTLY stress relieve all the way through to the inside of the brass. Does that make sense to you? How would that happen? Well, I doubt it does. But with careful timing brass could be made 'soft enough', and not 'too soft' -overall. I'm one of those 'supermen' referred to in the linked article, who lead dip stress relieve. And I can assure you, those writing that article are clueless about Lead dipping. I would bet they could not even do it correctly, and so wrote it off (as too dangerous). I don't like the torch approach, but am very interested in the inductive heating systems being worked out right now. With precise timming, these will finally meet our needs. You watch. [/QUOTE]
