Re: Annealing copper was (My Primary Coil disaster)

    So, is it safe to say that all it takes is heating the copper to anneal
it? When I was witness to Al being annealed, it needed the carbon or
something from the acetylene. It was applied to the pipe we were trying to
use on our hydraulic pipe bender. Some amount of time was required, then a
neutral flame was applied to the blackened pipe which caused the carbon to
disappear. It was interesting to watch, and learn a little about how it
worked. I'm assuming that every type of metal has it's own way
