As long as there's no warpage or other deformation induced from residual stress I think any variability won't be an issue as any deformation resistance will be beneficial, and I wouldn't think that would arise as the parts are simply laser cut, deburred, and polished; there are no bending or...
Perfect, thank you!
I actually had that realization earlier, that it would probably be easier to just order it not annealed as opposed to trying to get it to ASTM spec, so I asked my supplier to look into it but he wasn't sure what degree of CW it would be. This makes me much more optimistic...
