Thanks for your response, Kitz.
From what I read, it is necessary to heat the part to approx. 400F to remove the hydrogen, but I can find no indication of how long the "bake" should last. Is it only necessary to raise the temp of the item to that level or does it have to be kept at that temperature for a specific period?Remember, Freedom isn't Free, thousands have paid the price so you can enjoy what you have today.

One of the links I attached to the other thread essentially said, the longer the better for bake time. There are probably practical considerations such as size of plated piece, density of material, thickness of plating, and so on.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

Ok, looks like it's a judgment call. I think I will bake any item that I have removed the rust from by electrolysis just as a precaution if there is any chance of it being stressed and certainly any suspension part.
