What temperature and procedure is used to fully anneal 1144 tool steel?

Thanks for the help!


1144 is the ANSI spec for StressProof, and StressProof's heat treat will
be ruined by a anneal cycle.

But then I've never seen someone supply 'hardened' 1144 - maybe as TGP
linear bearing rod? That stuff cuts pretty nicely as-is.
