Thanks for the link to the paper on H2 Embrittlement - it makes clear that electroplating on relatively high hardness material is a concern, but it is not quite the same situation as i have, where most of the material that is to be electroplated is relatively soft (<25 Rc) with flame hardening...
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...
