Where a metal annealer can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a metal annealer already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Metal annealers operate electric or gas kilns to soften metal so it can be cut and shaped more easily. They heat the metal to a specific temperature and/or colour and then slowly cool it, both according to specifications. Metal annealers inspect the metals through the entire process to observe any flaws.
