    Hello Nisa, I think you'll find that there's a good amount of
    information available on this. Both Cynthia Eid and I, among others,
    have written on the subject here at Orchid (search the archives) but
    your best bet now is probably argentiumsilver.info, the official
    information site for Argentium Silver. 

    At the.info site I see that the precip hardening information is in
    the "Working with" section under "heat hardening instructions." It's
    a simple process and can be completed in less than 45 minutes at
    modest temperatures. 

Have fun,
Trevor F.
