cp silver annealing

[rmetzger]

can someone give me an idea of a temperature anad time schedule for full annealing of CP silver? The parts are approx .300" outer diameter .040" wall tube stock.

Depends upon the amount of strain. The ASM Handbook mentions 350 [°]C as a common temperature, but up to 650 [°]C may be necessary. One hour is common - probably 30 minutes would do for your small dimensions.
