In this video, Prof. John Ahr covers the specific issues related to annealing sterling silver. If you are a beginning jewelry designer or, if you regularly work with sterling silver, you'll want to watch this video.
Annealing, or softening metal with heat, is a basic task in any jewelry production operation. Annealing improves ones ability to manipulate metal into various forms. It greatly increases the malleability and ductility of sterling silver.
If you improperly anneal sterling silver you can potentially over oxidize it, reticulate it or melt it. Likewise, bad annealing habits will increase your fuel costs over time.
