I have access to a plating facility (aviation, but it's a jet engine

nickel first and then cad plating.. I'm reluctant to do this for the
obvious reasons until I find out what the story is...
Anyone know?

You might want to research "Hydrogen embrittlement".

Yeah, I was aware of hydrogen embritlement which is why I asked...

I repeat,

You might want to research "Hydrogen embrittlement"

to counteract it...

And I repeat that the link he provided is to a process that is
not plating.
