If a reduced probability of encountering hydrogen embrittlement is desired, alternative procedures should be evaluated. NOTE Investigations are proceeding to develop methods forthe reduction of hydrogen embvitlement, 7 Corrosion protection ‘The corrosion protection of an electroplated coating depends to a considerable extent on its thickness. In addttion to greater coating thickness, a chromate conversion treatment Cai be specified for increased corrosion Protection on Zine rx cadmium coatings ‘Paotact wh other metals and materias, he Wequerscy and curation of wetting and service temperatures may influence the protective performance of coatings and expert advice is essential when unceriainies of shows sre Coatings of Zn and Cu applied to ferrous substrates are less electropositve than the steel base metal and senseavently provide cethosic protection In contrast, Ni and Cr coatings are more electropositve than the sicet ‘base metal and may intensify part corrosion where the coating is damaged or pitted. ‘Cadmnium coatings are dealt with in SO 2082 Zine coatings ere deat with in ISO 2081. ‘Nickel coatings are dealt within ISO 1458. Nicke! = chromium and copper + nickel + chromium coatings are dealt wah in ISO 1456. ‘Chromate conversion treatments are dealt with in 1SO 4520, NOTE Information on salt spray corrosion protection performance of metalic coatings is given in inlormative annex 8 Applicability to fasteners that cut or form t! ‘own mating threads Al recommended coatings may be applied to screws that out or form their own mating threads such a wood Sciews, sei tapping screws, sei ciling sorews and thread forming screws.
