MickHeat treating metals is a whole branch of metalurgy science.Copper work hardens. Heat softens it and wuenching does very little except cool it so you don't burn your fingers.Cheers Warren

Darrell,
 
Isn't quenching for hardening or is it also used in anealing?

Hi Norman my friend, It's been my experience in the past when I was into heat treating metals, that you really don't need to go cherry red, just heat it up ( propane torch) until it turns a nice solid gray color. Then quench it, No need to cool it slowly either. Worked for me.
