[QUOTE="jasent, post: 2716498, member: 28233"] You can’t burn the zinc out of brass. It probably had some residual brass lube on it. The color change is from oxygen and heat. If something is on the brass less oxygen gets to the brass affecting color. That brass is not ruined. Induction annealers heat the brass to over 1100f. As long as you’re not annealing the head or case walls you’re fine. Torch annealing just barely gets the job done. To anneal brass it takes 700f for an hour. 1000f gets it done in seconds [/QUOTE]
