Reply to "Chrome plating"

Hydrogen embrittlement is an issue with chrome plating and other plating as well. There are provisions to address the problem, one is the process/procedure during the plating, another is post baking after plating. Both are established and excepted as reliable corrective actions. Unfortunately decorative and automotive platers do not know what hydrogen embrittlement even means but industrial/military grade plating houses are familiar the processes.
I did my own post baking of Pantera suspension parts and fasteners to insure proper strength.
