In this brief video, Professor John Ahr of the Online Jewelry Academy demonstrates how to anneal nonferrous metal (not steel). Annealing is a process in which heat is used to soften metal to improve its malleability and make it easier to work.
Quenching nonferrous metals after quenching does not harden them. Take care when quenching items that are thin, heavily worked, or show signs of potential cracking. These items should be air cooled.
