    Vacuum Annealer?

    I assume you are trying to avoid scale formation? There are powders available to coat the parts to stop that problem. I have been using Brownells PCB powder. You heat the part(s) to 500 degrees and emerse into the powder which forms a crust on the metal. After annealing and cooling you rinse...

    Motorbike engraving
