This standard provides the procedures and requirements for producing electroplated zinc deposits. Parts with a hardness of HRC 32 or higher MUST be electroplated according to PS-4220 which requires a mandatory bake operation to relieve hydrogen embrittlement. PS-4220 is identical to PS-79 respectively, except for the mandatory bake. This standard also covers the requirements for mechanically plated zinc deposits.
