Hardening copper pipe?
Posted: Sun Jul 22, 2018 5:12 pm
If there happen to be any metallurgy wizards here I have a question:
Obviously, soldering copper pipe with a torch will anneal the metal. Is there a way to re harden the metal after it's been worked into a shape such as a coil? I know about work hardening but I don't see how you'd do it with a coil or other equally involved and fixed shape. Any DIY methods that would work?
