Bake for Hydrogen Embrittlement

Features:

• After plating, all steel parts having a hardness of Rockwell C46 and higher must be baked at 375 F +/- 25 degrees F to relieve the embrittlement which occurs naturally in the electrolysis process.
• Special baking cycles and durations are common. Pre-plating baking to relieve stress due to machining, forming or heat treatment are available.
