Dehydrogenation Treatments

Dehydrogenation: a brief definition

Dehydrogenation is a thermal process for removing hydrogen absorbed by an object during an electrochemical or chemical process (such as zinc plating), which causes brittleness in the treated metal. Dehydrogenation is carried out inside a special oven, at a temperature between 180 and 200 °C, for a minimum of two hours.

When is dehydrogenation necessary?

This special surface treatment is essential for all steel and metallic parts that require maximum tensile strength, with values exceeding 100/Nmm, or in cases where high elasticity is needed (e.g., springs).

The dehydrogenation treatment is usually determined based on the specific requirements of the customer and the type and use of the treated part.

Dehydrogenation and zinc plating

In the province of Treviso, one of the most qualified companies for dehydrogenation treatments is Dalla Torre A. Ltd., a leading entity in the field of electrolytic zinc plating.

This and numerous other surface treatments are part of the extensive technical know-how developed by the company, capable of promptly satisfying any customer request, conducting the dehydrogenation process directly at their facility in Breda Di Piave (TV).
