Annealing Silver
Annealing Silver
(OP)
Does anyone have any idea how one might anneal sterling silver, or knows someone in the LA area who does this? I've searched and called a bunch of companies, but haven't made any progress.
Please advise.
Please advise.

RE: Annealing Silver
When annealing silver, is it possible to eliminate any or all warping of the metal? In the past I have seen that "soft" metals tend to distort shape when heated to annealing temperatures. I have never seen a way of preventing this. Any thoughts? Thanks.

To Anneal:
1000F for 20 minutes and quench in water.
To Harden:
650F for 6-7 hrs and air cool or cool in furnace/oven/kiln.
