[David.H]

When de-embrittling fasteners after plating, they were "put in a mild oven!" for at least 12 -24 hours to get the hydrogen out, Some times even longer for critical applications If not the heads would pop off shortly after installation...most embarrassing...if not deadly!
On the other hand some customers would ask "can't you miss it out...we need them now & had to be gently  (!) told. ..er, no!
