Is there any sort of annealing process to soften stainless steel which has work hardened during the machining process.

When I was first starting out I was sold some 'silver steel' at a boot sale.

All my attempts at hardening it made it soft… it was stainless steel.

Sounds like give it a try, but quench it quickly.
