Solution HT of 304 Stainless
Solution HT of 304 Stainless
(OP)
I have 5/8" diameter barstock, 12" long, that I want to solution heat treat to return it to the fully annealed condition before I run a series of sensitization HT for some experiments. My plan is to soak it at 1900°F for 30 minutes. Any thoughts?

Make sure you clean the sample and keep fingers off.
There is a tremendous amount of sensitization data available for Stainless Steels. I certainly would do literature search before I went through all the heat treating.
Handling 2000°F material takes a little expertise.
