ISO 9588: 2007 Metallic and other inorganic coatings - Post-coating treatments of iron or steel to reduce the risk

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Second edition, 2007-12-15. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 9588:1999), Table 1 of which has been technically revised and replaced with Tables 1 and 2. 10р. This International Standard specifies procedures for reducing susceptibility, or degree of susceptibility, to hydrogen embrittlement that can arise in surface finishing processes.
The heat-treatment procedures for iron or steel specified in this International Standard have been shown to be effective in reducing the susceptibility to hydrogen embrittlement. These heat-treatment procedures are used after surface finishing, but prior to any secondary conversion-coating operation.
