    Go for it but there is a big difference between annealing and normalizing.

    The simplest way is a container full with ash, have done that and it works pretty well. Probably cools for a day or 2. Of course if the steel is more complicated temperatures must be pretty exact, modern powder steels and so, if i remember correctly.

    Exactly, quick normalization if needed after the part is machined and grinded could be done , heat and leave at air.

    If i work some material, i would study the documentation and recommended methods. There are also different types of annealing, if we look deeper, but as i said i have no reason for normalizing or annealing the material, when machined. I machine it with air cooling the bit so nothing heats and then belt grinder, same here.

    In reality i wanted to make that from S7 steel as its the other steel perfect for the purpose due to the toughness, but can not find a sheet vendor in Spain. Probably some one sells it in Europe, but now with the covid... As its heat and leave to air harden.
