Default Body & floor rivets: Anneal them first?

I need to replace some body and floor rivets. I was fooling around with my air hammer and buck on some test pieces and I think I got the hang of it.

I remember reading somewhere a recommendation to anneal them first. To put them in a cast iron pot with some hot coals, etc.

Is this necessary? Curious.
