Hydrogen embrittlement relief after rack plating: your bake schedule?

We plate high-strength steel parts and need a defensible hydrogen embrittlement relief schedule.

Our current practice is baking within 1 hour of plating, but the oven loading and time start point are inconsistent. I would like to compare:

  • Time from plating to oven
  • Temperature and hold time by strength level
  • Oven loading and air circulation
  • Records and traceability

Please share standards or customer requirements you follow; this is a safety-critical topic.
