Yes, I did mean the maximum baking temperature. Most of the specifications restrict the hydrogen embrittlement relief bake for carburized parts to 275F, some even limit the time to 3 to 5 hours. None of the specifications give any explicit directions on nitrided parts. I did not want to damage...
We sometimes are plating other surfaces on the part that have not been case hardened, although we do a lot of cadmium plating, for corrosion resistance, on case hardened parts.
I will try to trac down the SAE document you mentioned, as I have not read that one. My major concern is when the...
The only commercially available electrodeposition software I am aware of is Cell Design 2000 by L-Chem. It is based on the work of Dr. Uziel Landau, who is also the President. He normally attends SURFIN, so that is most likely what you saw demonstrated.
The L-Chem website is...
Most of the electroplating specifications call for baking at 275°F when dealing with carburized parts. Does anyone know if the same restriction would apply to parts case hardened by nitriding? by carbon nitriding?
Does nitriding increase or decrease the risk of hydrogen embrittlement?
What...
