    5 min at 1100 will do. But that means the kiln has to recover to
    1100 after you put the wire in it before you start counting time. And
    even though Argentium is not prone to firestain I think you will
    still need some way of keeping it free from oxygen at these elevated
    temperatures if you don't want to have problems with the metal in
    working it later.
