GRRRRAAHHHHHHHHAAA!! is there ANY way to make this less springy??
The article contains the following statement.
"Dry-burning the coils means heating them to temperatures well above 700oC"
However, as i have said SS3316 can be normalised to make it more malleable at temperatures as low as 400 C.
i don’t think most people are measuring the temperature of a bit of wire as they blast it with a blowtorch.
Probably not.
But they could put it in their oven on it's highest setting for 20 minutes.
ovens usually only go up to 250 C.
Get yourself a better oven mate, my fan oven goes up to 325 C.
Anyway my point was to illustrate that you did not have to heat stainless steel to bright red with a blowtorch, or a coil test firing kit in order to anneal it.
I fact if it is heated to bright cherry red it starts to destroy the properties that make it "stainless"
