The ANSI/ESD S20.20 standard outlines the importance of "Personnel Ground wrist strap Connection (non-monitored)" for ensuring proper grounding to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to electronic components. Unlike monitored wrist straps that provide continuous feedback on grounding status, non-monitored straps require daily testing to confirm functionality. Failure to test these straps increases the risk of losing grounding, potentially leading to ESD incidents that can damage sensitive devices. Regular checks are essential for maintaining a safe working environment in electronics assembly and repair. Proper adherence to these guidelines is crucial for preventing costly ESD-related failures.

I need to anneal 5052 aluminum for a home project. Google has given me mixed results on how to do this. Short version is that I'm doing some heavy forming on a piece of 5052-H32 and I'm running into issues with it work hardening. I've tried the Sharpie trick with a propane torch. But I'm not sure this is doing anything. I'm also seeing conflicting opinions whether to quench or air cool. So I'm looking for some expert opinions. (Oven heating is not an option due to size.) Thanks. edit: The...
