It depends on the service application. If you want maximum corrosion resistance, yes, a solution anneal should be performed.
 
thanx metengr
can u guide me to some refrences?
actually i know that annealing is necessary but i haven't accessing to ASM Metal handbook or any other forming refrences right now and i've to proof my claim
 
kimiagar79;
I would use ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section I or VIII, Div 1 as proof of claim.
 
I am wondering when heat treating 304 ss is necessary according to ASME Division VIII (2007)code. The final product is a ss pressure vessel.

Thanks.

 
Read UHA-44 in ASME Section VIII, Div 1 to find your answer.
