Hydrogen deembrittlement
Dear Sirs,
I am madhu a job coater. Can anybody suggests what is the Deembrittlement tempaerature we have to adopt for acid pickled or plated parts (Medium carbon steels).
Any literature discussing 48 hour at room temeperatute is sufficient? Pl, clarify.

There are many letters on line here that will give you the temperature. Madhu: 350-400 F. I have never heard of room temperature de-embittlement and suspect that it's a dangerous fantasy.

Good afternoon:
There might be some confusion between zinc electroplating and zinc phosphate. There are a couple standards that discuss 48 hour hold after zinc phosphate to reduce the risk of hydrogen embrittlement, but they do not cover electroplating.
