Analysis of hydrogen embrittlement in zinc electroplating

Electrodeposition is the method of plating metal into another by hydrolysis generally to protect against corrosion metal. In Zinc Electroplating, deposited on steel, where acts as a sacrificial element that enhances Steel’s life. The zinc electroplating methods are mostly affected process parameters such current, temperature, voltage, etc. Hydrogen absorbed in plated layer and later it causes cracking, which known hydrogen embrittlement. De Embrittlement removes Hydrogen. Various test used qualify part after de-embrittlement. One them, Silicon oil was detect earlier now we have paraffin for same, thus making cost-efficient.
