Baking
At Electro-Max we also specialize in a process known as baking. This baking process is used to prevent hydrogen embrittlement which can be linked to the corrosion of the metal which, in the end, destroys the internal integrity of the metal. Hydrogen embrittlement can be defined as the absorption of hydrogen into the metal that helps promotes the eventual breakdown of steel. Hydrogen can be formed during the metal pickling and cleaning treatments (Vapor Degreasing and Aqua Degreasing) of the metal. This hydrogen embrittlement is a highly-monitored process at Electro-Max to help ensure the overall integrity of the metal.
Baking is a very curial step in producing high-quality metals. If the metal is found to have been exposed to hydrogen embrittlement the baking process of metal is then used. The baking process is usually performed after the plating process to remove all trapped pockets of hydrogen from the metal that may have accumulated in the metal during the pickling and cleaning stages.
Here at Electro-Max we stand behind all of our metal parts. We only machine and bake the highest-quality metal parts possible. All of our baking procedures are done at a customer specific schedule and in ovens that are Electro-Max approved for each specific process of baking. Please contact Electro-Max for all you metal baking needs.
