<DIV style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif; font-size:10pt;"><DIV>Hi Alan,</DIV><DIV> I haven't actually gone through the whole cycle yet, I just tested it for about 6 hours just to see how bad the temperature swings were going to be. I was please to see that the temperature lags very slowly in the acrylic compared to the other temperature sensor. I'm confident that I can follow the annealing chart very closely. I also wanted to arrange the two hold times ( for the normalizing run) so that they occur in the early morning so I can sleep ! I need to be actively monitoring the cool down periods.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Brian</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV> <BR>--- alanlindsayjames@yahoo.com wrote:<BR><BR>From: Alan <alanlindsayjames@yahoo.com><BR>To: Personal Submersibles General Discussion <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><BR>Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] oven pics<BR>Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2014 08:37:23 +1300<BR><BR></DIV><DIV>Good idea using the ceramic Brian. </DIV><DIV>Did you manage to keep within the required temperature range?</DIV><DIV>Alan<BR><BR>Sent from my iPad</DIV><DIV><BR>On 27/03/2014, at 4:29 am, "Brian Cox" <<A href="mailto:brian@ojaivalleybeefarm.com">brian@ojaivalleybeefarm.com</A>> wrote:<BR><BR></DIV><BLOCKQUOTE><DIV><DIV style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><DIV>Here are some shots of my annealing oven.

Also with the extra mass of all the ceramic it improved the heat sink storage and made for more even temperature changes.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Brian</DIV><DIV> </DIV></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><BLOCKQUOTE><DIV><oven21.jpg></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><BLOCKQUOTE><DIV><probe-in-acrylic1.jpg></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><BLOCKQUOTE><DIV><SPAN>_______________________________________________</SPAN><BR><SPAN>Personal_Submersibles mailing list</SPAN><BR><SPAN><A href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</A></SPAN><BR><SPAN><A href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</A></SPAN><BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>_______________________________________________
