Sanderson, G; Brazendale, L M; Larson, C

Slow strain rate and sustained load tensile tests on 300M and NCMV alloys show that the susceptibility of these high strength steels to hydrogen embrittlement during plating with cadmium can be considerably reduced. The nickel particles are thought to preferentially absorb hydrogen both during plating and in the post-plate baking treatment. The corrosion resistance of Cd/Ni composite coated steel panels in outdoor exposure tests appears to be better than simple cadmium-plated steel panels under the same conditions.
