Annealing, how to?

Jewelry Discussion

The hydraulic die forming process often requires the annealing of
metal before putting it in the press to be formed.

I hope to shape sterling silver and copper at a thickness ranging
from 24-34 gage.

At what temperatures, and how do I go about the annealing process?

Thanks for the help.

Hi, The best annealing temp used is 550-600 under inert atmosphere.
