"Chris Bacon" wrote in message ... Doctor Evil wrote: "GB" wrote... "Chris Bacon" wrote... (annealing copper) That's interesting. Never tried this before. What do you mean by redness? Copper tube is naturally an orange colour, so it's not particularly obvious (to me). You heat the pipe with a powerfukl blowtorch (best use two) until "cherry red" and then quench it in water. It has to be cooled immediately. Hi Doctor Evil, if you quench the tube straight away, it makes it easier to clean off the black oxide, however the annealing effect will happen anyway if you just let the tube cool. This is much slower, though. Quenching of steel, for instance, is a different matter. To anneal properly you quench in water immedaitely. _________________________________________ Usenet Zone Free Binaries Usenet Server More than 120,000 groups Unlimited download http://www.usenetzone.com to open account |

How can someone who claims to be a heating engineer have so little practical experience? And his invoices must be a source of amusement to the lawyers... -- *The statement below is true.
