31、fterGalvanizing Hydrogen has the potential of being introducedinto the steel during acid pickling, prior to hot-dip galvanizing.For high strength fasteners (having a specified minimumproduct hardness of 33 HRC), there is a risk of internalhydrogen embrittlement. If required by the product standard o

32、rby the purchaser, mechanical descaling (with or without flashpickling) or baking shall be conducted to reduce the risk ofinternal hydrogen embrittlement. Baking shall be conductedafter pickling and prior to hot-dip galvanizing.TABLE 1 Process Control of Batch LotASampling PlanSample SizeBBatch Lot
