Hello,

Someone here sent me some very comprehensive information on annealing
stainless steel materials after welding. I filed somewhere very safe and now
that I need it is nowhere to be found. If that kind soul is reading this
could you please resend it?

I think you're looking for stress relieving, not annealing. The welding
process would not harden that grade of stainless. None of the 300 series of
stainless is heat treatable, although it might require annealing after
considerable cold working.

I found the link finally.

I would appreciate any comments on the article. I finished welding my turbo
exhaust manifold so I am wondering if this process is worth it before I have
the flange machined flat. Pictures at

The material is 304L ( yes I know that there is better stuff out there)
It will be ceramic coated inside and out.

My wife has a large pottery kiln that would do the annealing job.
