Hi all,
I have an antri-roll bar made from EN16T solid bar which I want to get zinc plated. Does anyone know if the zinc plating process will affect the properties of the steel? It's affectively spring steel and needs to retain its 'springiness' (I'm sure there's a better word for that - but I forget). I know with my grade 12.9 bolts I need to have them de-imbrittles after plating, but do I need to do this or something similar with EN16T?
Any help appreciated.
