15、 risk of hydrogen embrittlement.The duration ofheat treatment in all cases shall commence from the time atwhich the whole of each part attains the specified temperature.4.2 Parts made from steel with actual tensile strengths1000 MPa(with corresponding hardness values of 300HV10kgf,303 HB,or 31 HRC)a
16、nd surface-hardened parts mayrequire heat treatment unless Class ER-0 is specified.Prepara-tion involving cathodic treatments in alkaline or acid solutionsshall be avoided.Additionally,the selection of electroplatingsolutions with high cathodic efficiencies is recommended forsteel components with tensile strengths above 1400 MPa(withcorresponding hardness values of 425 HV10kgf,401 HB,or 43HRC).4.3 Table 1 provides a list of embrittlement-relief heat-treatment classes from which the purchaser may
