[QUOTE="ClassicBiker, post: 77723, member: 1632"] Martyn, This was I love about this forum, you can learn so much here. Now I've got a question about the above process you've outlined. When I anneal a metal that has been hardened such as steel I would heat it to the prescribed temp and allow to cool from there at ambient room temp. In the case of a copper head gasket I would heat till cherry red then quench in water, aluminum sheet that has been work hardened I would rub soap on one side and heat from the other side till the soap turns brown, then allow to cool. In the process above would I heat to between 360 and 400 degrees C then allow to cool at ambient room temp then reheat to between 505 and 515 degrees C fro 2 hours and proceed from there as outlined or? Thanks Steven [/QUOTE]
