Description
ABSTRACT: We propose to determine the minimum safe baking time for ASTM F519 Type 1a.1 specimens and verify the result by sustain loading per ASTM F519. BENEFIT: The current industry standard is a 23 hour bake; much shorter bake times are desired. In particular, times less than 8 hours would allow baking to be accomplished within one work shift and allow increased work flow. Different plating baths produce significantly different hydrogen charging conditions. Tailoring the bake out time to the plating bath type would allow a more rational choice of bake out time to minimize plating costs.
