Hydrogen Embrittlement Testing All fasteners susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement undergo thorough Hydrogen Embrittlement Testing (HGE Test) according to latest IFI and SAE fastener standards. As part of this testing process, precautions, such as 4-8 hour baking after the electroplating process, are undertaken to eliminate hydrogen that was absorbed into the fastener or trapped during the plating process. These tests help to prevent material failure and ensure the quality of Express Fasteners’ components.
