A high-strength bolt fails on an assembly line. The purchasing agent wants to blame the supplier. But a non-metallurgist who has studied heat treatment remembers: Hydrogen embrittlement occurs when high-strength steel is electroplated without proper baking. They order a hydrogen embrittlement test, confirm the cause, and change the plating specification—problem solved. metallurgy for the non-metallurgist pdf
