New White Paper: Eliminate the Risk of Hydrogen Embrittlement

CHICAGO - illiNews -- MECHANICAL PLATING: The Smart Solution

The Hidden Danger in Traditional Plating

Electroplating forces hydrogen atoms into high-strength steel during the coating process. These microscopic intruders make metal brittle, creating components that can fail suddenly and catastrophically. Parts with hardness ratings above 32 HRC are especially vulnerable. Even post-plating baking procedures, designed to drive out hydrogen, cannot eliminate the risk completely. The consequences are real: recalls, injuries, lawsuits, and production delays.

Also called impact plating or peen plating, mechanical plating applies metallic coatings through a cold process that uses no electrical current and generates no heat. Without heat or electricity, there is no pathway for hydrogen to enter the steel substrate.
