hydrogen embrittlement of flame hardened part
hydrogen embrittlement of flame hardened part
(OP)
I have a large part made of 1060 steel that has been flame hardened on one surface to Rc>60. We need to electroplate the part for corrosion and wear purposes (0.2 to 0.3 mills dense Chrome), but are concerned about warpage if we bake. most of the material is Rc ~ 25. do i need to worry about Hydrogen Embrittlement without the bake?

I am not sure I understand the concern on warpage. At the low temperatures used for baking, the only warpage I can see would be from the relaxation of these residual stresses, which will occur naturally, to some extent, with use. It seems to me it would be better to for this to happen piror to putting into service rather than after.
