Annealing 304 SS
Annealing 304 SS
(OP)
I have an Exhaust manifold on an automotive application
that frequently sees temps. of 1700 degrees. I know that
this is not the best grade of material to use, but it was
what I had laying around at the time. After a period
of heat cycles the material seems to get brittle and
cracks. If I try to anneal this pc., will it help
with the longetivity of the pc.? Or, will annealing
the material not be beneficial? Is there anything that
I can do to this pc. that would help it survive these
temps?
Thanks for your help.

If your material is already brittle and cracked the annealing will not recovery your TP304

brittle?
