    You can anneal it with a flame, mini blowtorch is ideal or a lighter.

    The melting point of SS316L is 2540-2630° F so start further away to reduce temp and then move closer to get desired result!

    Unless you concentrate the flame in one spot you'll never get that hot. Plenty YT vids out there, used to be common to preheat wire prior to coiling.

    it’s no about it melting, heating wire until it glows causes changes in the structure that could be bad for the health. there is a farsalinos article about it, that recommends not dry burning coils. torching them with a blowtorch would have the same effect i’m sure.

    Quite probably just depends on if you want to dry heat or not.

    I did read somewhere that dry burning stainless steel to a high temp has negative implications to the longevity of the metal and therefore the coils. Some also say it can off gas nasties if it gets too hot. I don’t know either way but when I dry burn SS319L coils that I’ve built (in order to get rid of hot spots) I tend to do so at around 25w. This works well for me.
