Hydrogen Embrittlement
Hydrogen Embrittlement
(OP)
Hey all,
I have bent galvanized rods that I am going to be testing for strain-age embrittlement. I would like to first remove the zinc layer via HCL prior to testing, and I don't want to introduce any other forms of embrittlement. Since it is A36 steel, is it safe to assume that hydrogen embrittlement won't be an issue?
Thanks,
Mike

No. I agree with the advice above.

then test
then test a part that is not stripped.

chase threads, then aluminum oxide blast to strip.
chemical; stripping in my opinion will work if baked after.
add test samples to test for embrittlement
those are the options

yes that will work, LOL
I was interpreting that all the zinc plating needed to be removed.
